Tomorrow who has never loved will love; and who has loved, tomorrow will love.
So in essence, a poetical way of saying:
Tomorrow everyone will love. Those who have never loved before will love for the first time and those who have loved before will love again.

This is from a latin poem that describes a three day holiday in the cult of Venus, located somewhere in Sicily, involving the whole town in religious festivities joined with a deep sense of nature and Venus as the "procreatrix", the life-giving force behind the natural world. Lucretius has had the same vision, but in entirely different terms, in the prefaces to each of his books in the De Rerum Nature.

It's Latin, idiot.
My Latin's not that great at all, but I can give you the gist of it:
"Tomorrow I (or he, I'm not sure) will love those who have never been loved; Whoever has been loved, will love tomorrow."
