“¡Primer amor! Noble orgullo de sentirse amado; sacrificio dulce de todo lo que antes nos era caro a favor de la mujer querida; felicidad que, comprada
para un día con las lágrimas de toda una existencia, recibiríamos como un don de Dios; perfume para todas las
horas del porvenir: flor guardada en el alma que no es dado marchitar a los desengaños: único tesoro que no puede
arrebatarnos la envidia de los hombres, delirio delicioso..., inspiración del Cielo...¡María!¡María! ¡Cuánto te amé!¡Cuánto te amara!”
― Jorge Isaacs, María
