Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Lust gratifies its flames in the chambers of the sacristans more often than in the houses of ill-fame.”
