Wish I Said it First #16

#16

"'I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!' [said Elizabeth.]

'I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love,' said Darcy.

'Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away.'"

- Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
