"Love me not with words alone,
Hiding mind and spirits contrary,
If you love with a true mind: but
Love me with an honest soul, or
Openly distance yourself fro' me;
Confess this breach estranging us:
Whoever speaks with single tongue but
Hides a double mind's a poor mate, Kyrnus,
Better my good foe than a false friend to me."
--from "The nekkid Theognis"

sometimes a good foe is our best companion.....
