It was a sudden revelation, a tinge like a blush which one tried to check and then, as it spread, one yielded to its expansion, and rushed to the farthest verge and there quivered and felt the world come closer, swollen with some astonishing significance, some pressure of rapture, which split its thin skin and gushed and poured with an extraordinary alleviation over the cracks and sores.
(Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway, Hertfordshire: Wordsworth 2003², p. 24)

Oh, what heartfelt depiction of the gist of falling in love, this feeling so overwhelming as it is unpersistent! Thank you very much, Mrs. Woolf.
