In the 16th century poem Come Live with Me and be My Love, by poet and playwright Christopher Marlowe, he spoke about love’s many pleasures including “making beds of roses” and “melodious birds singing madrigals”.
Victor Hugo wrote: “How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.”
