Romantic Purse
"Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
...
Is love a tender thing? It is too rough,
Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn."
— Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene IV
