“«L’amor? Una invenció del segle XII!» La frase —promulgada, si no vaig errat, per un erudit ben respectable— podrà semblar un despropòsit. No ho és: gens.”
"Love? A 12th-century invention!" The phrase--promulgated, if I'm not mistaken, by a quite respectable scholar--might appear to be an absurdity. It is not; not at all.
