自古以來，愛情總是文藝創作者永恆的主題。
正如曾經獲得諾貝爾文學獎，被稱為「當代最偉大的詩人」威廉·巴特勒·葉芝寫到：他第一次遇見了美麗的上校女兒茅德·岡，就對她一見鍾情，一往情深。茅德·岡是葉芝終生愛慕的女性，他幾乎用盡了一生去等待。下面借用一首詩去表達我憧憬的愛情：
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire ，take down this book,
And slowly read ， and dream of the soft look,
Your eyes had once ，and of their shadows deep,
How many love your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you ，
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars ，
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
