Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.

I love your lips when they're wet with wine and red with wicked desire
Still seems it strange, that thou shouldst live forever? Is it less strange, that thou shouldst live at all? This is a miracle; and that no more.
The first sure symptom of a mind in health Is rest of heart and pleasure felt at home.
