Synopsis

Of all the words in human language, few are asked to carry as much weight as "love." We use the same word for the feeling a parent has for a newborn child, the passion between new lovers, the quiet loyalty of a forty-year marriage, the ache of missing a friend, the devotion of a person to their faith, and the warmth of a person for their favorite meal. English, in particular, is a strangely poor language for love: it hands us one word to do the work that Greek, for instance, spreads across at least four distinct terms, each naming a different kind of bond.
