Molten right through our youth.
A burnt space through ripe fields
A fair mouth’s broken tooth.”

And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.—
Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips,
And all is dross that is not Helena.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded
That all the Apostles would have done as they did.”
