Happiest time of youth and life, when love is first spoken and returned; when the dearest eyes are daily shining welcome, and the fondest lips never tire of whispering their sweet secrets; when the parting look that accompanies "Good night!" gives delightful warning of tomorrow.
William Makepeace Thackeray (1868). “The Works: In Twenty-two Volumes. ¬The Virginians : a tale of the last century ; vol. II”, p.195
