 * 1) Henry David Thoreau's poem attempts to define love through its relationship with friendship. He argues that both, with their immense strength, exist together and go hand in hand; without friendship, love cannot exist, and without any love, there is no friendship. Together, though, both stand as infallible feelings.
 * 2) Love and friendship are equally reliant on one another,
 * 3) I agree with Thoreau's commentary on love; from one's own experience, I expect it is sensible to believe that love quite simply cannot truly exist without true friendship. I'd think it impossible to find two people in love, who shared great affection, but lacked the bond of friendship: it simply does not make sense. In the same way, friends love each other, in that they truly care for each other; without this affection, the relationship is not really friendship.
 * 4) "Love cannot speak, but only thinks and does", "One and one make two, and two are one", "I only know it is, not how or why"
