--Not that the phrase is at all to my liking: for to say a man is _fallen_ in love, --or that he is _deeply_ in love, --or up to the ears in love, --and sometimes even _over head and ears in it_, --carries an idiomatical kind of implication, that love is a thing _below_ a man: --this is recurring again to _Plato's_ opinion, which, with all his divinityship, --I hold to be damnable and heretical: --and so much for that.

- Not that the phrase is at all to my liking: for to say a man is fallen in love, or is deeply in love, or up to the ears in love, carries the implication that love is a thing below a man: this is returning again to Plato's damnable opinion.
