These two lines are great, because J. W. Goethe tells us, this truth about very many couples on earth, by choosing two characters from mythology, just to show its importance. The word Even makes the meaning stronger and makes us realize, that it is such a reality, also happens to heavenly creatures like Psyché and Amor. Great Goethe, thank you from the 21.Century.
