“How soon do earthly lovers come to an end of their discoveries of each other’s beauty; how soon do they see all that is to be seen?... [But] how happy is that love, in which there is an eternal progress in all these things; wherein new beauties are continually discovered, and more and more loveliness, and in which we shall forever increase in beauty ourselves; where we shall be made capable of finding out and giving, and shall receive, more and more endearing expressions of love forever: our union will become more close, and communication more intimate.” — Jonathan Edwards, Heaven, a World of Love (2020)
