‘How I have wept, the long night through, over the poor women of the
past, so beautiful, so tender, so sweet, whose arms have opened for the
kiss, and who are dead! The kiss—it is immortal! It passes from lip to
lip, from century to century, from age to age. Men gather it, give it
back, and die.‘
—GUY DE MAUPASSANT.
