For the One Who Would Take Man's Life in His Hands
Love is the tact of every good, The only warmth, the only peace.

What it means
Our interpretation.
Two lines proclaim love as the quality that makes every good thing fitting, and as the sole source of warmth and calm. The poet elevates love above other comforts, treating it as the delicate touch behind kindness and the one lasting shelter from coldness and unrest.
