A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

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

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 5, sc. 1 (sc. 13), l. 1358ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)
