Swoon
 
  Sickly swoon, like lillies ’mid the blaze of noon.
            —Sara Coleridge		  1
  Swoon like spring’s daffodillies.
            —Italian Love Song		  2
            Swoon
Into the silence languidly
As a tune into a tune.
            —Dante Gabriel Rossetti		  3
Made my blood burn and swoon
Like a flame rained upon.
            —Algernon Charles Swinburne		  4
