Love is God's first word, the first thought that sailed through his brain. When he said, "Let there be light!" there was love. And everything that he made was very good, and no part thereof did he wish undone. And love became the world's beginning and the world's ruler; but all its ways are full of flowers and blood, flowers and blood.
Knut Hamsun, Victoria, tr. Sverre Lyngstad, Penguin (2005), 18.
