"Love Minus Zero/No Limit" (read "Love Minus Zero over No Limit") is a song written by Bob Dylan for his fifth studio album Bringing It All Back Home, released in 1965 (see 1965 in music). The song was originally written as a tribute to Dylan`s future wife Sara Lowndes. The song`s main musical hook is a series of three descending chords, while its lyrics describe Dylan`s infatuation with his lover, and how she brings a needed zen-like calm to his chaotic world. The song uses surreal imagery, some of which recalls Edgar Allan Poe`s "The Raven" and the Biblical Book of Daniel. The style of the lyrics is reminiscent of William Blake`s poem, "The Sick Rose".
