When is love at its most intense?


A.S. Byatt in The Children's Book (2009) answers:
But Julian was clever and observant enough to see that love was at its most intense before it was reciprocated. 'Love is a standing, or still growing light / And his first moment, after noon, is night.' 'What will it be when that the watery palate tastes indeed / Love's thrice repured nectar?'
--p. 251
