Helena quotes

  •    Was this the face that launched a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium? Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss! Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies! Come Helen, come give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena.

    - Christopher Marlowe
    c.1592  Doctor Faustus (published1604), act 5, sc.1.
