This kind of explains why I want to write Mermaid!AU for Thor/Loki.

Love is better than wisdom, and more precious than riches, and fairer than the feet of the daughters of men. The fires cannot destroy it, nor can the waters quench it. I called on thee at dawn, and thou didst not come to my call. The moon heard thy name, yet hadst thou no heed of me.

—Oscar Wilde, The Fisherman and His Soul
