By the way, I found the "Spark Notes" for "If Music be the food of love". It's a dreadful lump when the poetry is gone, but here it is:
"If it’s true that music makes people more in love, keep playing.
Give me too much of it,
so I’ll get sick of it and stop loving.
Play that part again! It sounded sad.
Oh, it sounded like a sweet breeze blowing
gently over a bank of violets,
taking their scent with it. That’s enough. Stop.
It doesn’t sound as sweet as it did before.
Oh, love is so restless!
That, despite it's ability to encompass
as much as the sea, is impenetrable,
to anything, cannot be bought,
yet becomes cheap.
Even if fleeting, though, love is so varied and rich
that it is the highest pinnacle of experience.
