"With my lord there, I was still eagerly watching his steps, when I, to my surprise, saw lady Vanna and lady Beatrice coming towards me, where I still was standing - one bliss pursuing still another bliss.
And - here is what I am reminded of - Love said "The first is Springtime, but the second resembles me so much, her name is Love."
(La Vita Nuova, Dante Alighieri)
