But, alas! such beings can scarcely be said to die, for they have never truly lived. Charles Caleb Colton

A woman that wishes to retain her suitor must keep him in the trenches; for this is a siege which the besieger never raises for want of supplies, since a feast is more fatal to love than a fast, and a surfeit than a starvation.
