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 odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

Will come when it will come.”
― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
