Delight (Noun)
 
These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume.
            —William Shakespeare		  1
  Hold delight as grape-flowers hold their wine.
            —Algernon Charles Swinburne		  2
  Delight as the wind’s in the billow.
            —Algernon Charles Swinburne		  3
