EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Love, like a ball, requires to be thrown back" by John Leighton takes us on a journey through the complexities of love. This exquisite print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for Moral Emblems with Aphorisms, Adages, and Proverbs from various eras and cultures. Leighton's artwork beautifully captures the essence of this timeless adage. Love is depicted as a delicate ball that must be reciprocated in order to flourish. Just like in a game where players throw the ball back and forth to keep it alive, love requires mutual effort and participation from both individuals involved. This historical piece not only showcases Leighton's artistic talent but also highlights the importance of reciprocity in relationships throughout history. The image serves as a reminder that love is not passive; it demands active engagement and investment. As we delve into the rich symbolism within this engraving, we are reminded of the profound wisdom embedded in age-old proverbs and aphorisms. Love has always been an intricate dance between two souls who must continuously give and receive affection to sustain their bond. Leighton's work invites us to reflect upon our own experiences with love while appreciating its universal nature across time and cultures. It serves as an enduring testament to humanity's eternal quest for connection and understanding.
