L'Amite est l'amour sans ailes ‧ 1806

Lord Byron

Friendship is Love without his wings!

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Byron imagines friendship as love that no longer has wings to fly away. The affection remains, but it feels steadier and less likely to vanish. It's a playful way of giving friendship the warmth of love and a lasting place in our lives.
