I just want to make sure I've translated these correctly:

I render it in French as follows:
L'amour fait les plus douces et les plus sensibles infortunes de la vie.
2) I want to say:
Without (the slightest) hope of return
I render it in French as:
Sans espoir de retour.
3) I also wanted to ask (as this is for a poem) is it okay to say the mixed language sentence:
Love should be a gift sans espoir de retour!

"1)" is correct;
I wonder whether "make for" wouldn't be a more appropriate verb; it correspond fairly well to the choice I made in French : you couldn't use "faire" in French.
"Sans espoir de retour" is perfect.
Well, mixing languages is fine as long as there is a common understanding; first of all you have to be understood. As "sans espoir de retour" does not introduce a new concept, as its English equivalent is exact there is no need for that ; however if there exists a particular context involving French culture you can do that; it was Edgar Allan Poe who could do that in his work and as a matter of fact in connection with French; he would put in whole sentences, as for instance in his short story "The Murders in The Rue Morgue".

@can'tcauchy I see one part of the problem; I thought "doucers" couldn't be anything eles than the adjective and the "missing "grandes" didn't help to clear out that erroneous deduction. I don't get your syllable count (don't understand it).
