Helen whose face was fatal must have wept Many salt tears to keep her eyes so bright Many long nights alone: and every night Men died, she cried, and happy Paris kept Sweet Helen. (T. H. White)

I arise from dreams of thee In the first sweet sleep of night, When the winds are breathing low, And the stars are shining bright. View quote
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Now no joy but lacks salt, That is not dashed with pain And weariness and fault; I crave the stain Of tears, the aftermark Of almost too much love, The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove. View quote

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
