- I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!- 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. - Elizabeth Bennet
