"Death is a great price to pay for a red rose;
cried the Nightingale, and life is very dear to all.
It is pleasent to sit in the greenwood and to watch the sun in his charriot of gold, and the moon in her charriot of pearl. Sweet is the scent of the hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill. Yet love is better than life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of man."
Oscar Wilde (The Nightingale and the Rose)
