Definition: Paragraphs (para - beside, graphs - written) literally meant in ancient Greek papyri anything that was written beside the main text, e.g. marginal note or sign to mark the close or beginning of a sentence. There are many variants of this symbol. The Greek paragraph is usually placed at the beginning of the line but it may refer to a break in the text at any point in the line. In a drama it can indicate the change of persons. The symbol itself is supposed to have developed from Greek gamma (Γ or γ) as from graphs.

The verb to love is no longer in Castilian but piece d museum, exposed in the grammatical cabinets as model of the first conjugation.  Their content has passed to the verb entirely lover.  Because of it, we have lost the possibility to distinguish in a synthetic way the disinterested attraction exercised about the spirit by another person or for an idea or action that it is what means to love (thinks you in love, friendship, friend), and the active inclination of the will toward the possession of something that such it is the meaning of lover.  This transfer of the first content a second is quite old, until the point of being able to be affirmed that the verb to love was never much utilized for the pueblo.  It was always a learned, written verb, literary.  The historical time that drives to their extinction, even in literature, it is the Romanticism.  And it is that the Romanticism abused so much of loving, often rhetorically and I eat falsely of versifications and drams that it finished invalidating it for a serious use.
