  1. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    FAUSTUS: Was this the face that launch’d a thousand ships,
       And burnt the topless towers of Ilium —
       Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss. —
          [They kiss]
       Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies! —
       Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
          [They kiss again]
       Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips,
       And all is dross that is not Helena.

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 5, sc. 1 (sc. 13), l. 1358ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)
