Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty,
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare,

As much as child e’er loved, or father found,
A love that makes breath poor and speech unable.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

perfectly,

that pierces the heart all summer
and sips bitter insects steeped in nectar ...”
