"If music be the food of love, play on.
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die...
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor."

“Love is a smoke rais’d with the fume of sighs;
Being purg’d, a fire sparkling in a lover’s eyes;
Being vex’d, a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.”
– Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
