When I look on you a moment,
then I can speak no more,
but my tongue falls silent,
and at once a delicate flame
courses beneath my skin,
and with my eyes I see nothing,
and my ears hum, and a wet sweat
bathes me and a trembling seizes me all over.
~Sappho
Sudden love is latest cured.
~Jean de La Bruyere
The only true love is love at first sight; second sight dispels it.
~Israel Zangwill
