Love, a Sword

Cathy Jamieson, the North British justice minister will announce today, SWORDS will be banned from sale in Scotland. Scotsman

However, it is understood that exceptions will be made for weapons required for religious and cultural purposes.

Though veiled in spires of myrtle-wreath,
Love is a sword which cuts its sheath,
And through the clefts itself has made,
We spy the flashes of the blade!

But through the clefts itself has made,
We likewise see Love's flashing blade
By rust consumed, or snapt in twain:
And only hilt and stump remain.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
