"Deep love passes through the coasts of destiny." It is from the beautiful and heart rending tale of Laodamia, the devoted wife who threw herself on her husband's funeral pyre, trusting that their love would unite them as they crossed to distant shores. http://www.stanford.edu/~plomio/laodamia.html
