Another potent form of love is pure love which is unconditional and timeless as expressed by Shakespeare and Elizabeth Berrett Browning. On a different note‚ a twisted love is flawed and bound to fail as revealed by Robert Browning. In Marlowe’s "The Passionate Shepherd and His Love" and Ralegh’s "The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd‚" an idealistic yet inadequate love is displayed between a Shepherd and his Lover. Love cannot
