They adored each other. It's so romantic. That's what a man and woman should do - become one.
Once for Valentine's Day, I left Rambette a trail of love poems (starting with Burns' "Red, Red Rose", of course) that ended with the most romatic stuff of all--selected quotes from the Song of Solomon. The trail ended with this, SS 8:6,7:
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
