Originators like Algernon Charles Swinburne:

Hide me inside you, where the sweetest things are hidden, between the roots of roses and spices

Though one were strong as seven,
He too with death shall dwell,
Nor wake with wings in heaven,
Nor weep for pains in hell;

Fierce midnights and famishing morrows, And the loves that complete and control All the joys of the flesh, all the sorrows That wear out the soul.
