117. Love [does not take] anything, for how [(can) it take anything when everything] belongs to it? It does not [say ‘This is mine’] or ‘(That) is mine’, [but rather it says] ‘They are thine.’

117. El amor [no se apropia] de nada, pues ¿cómo [(puede) apropiarse de algo, puesto que todo] le pertenece? No [dice «Esto es mío»] ni «(Eso) es mío», [sino dice] «Son tuyos.»
