Dorothy Parker (22 August 1893 - 7 June 1967 / Long Branch / New Jersey)

There's a poem expressing a similar feeling. A famous Chinese poet named Su Dong Po (also named Su Shi) wrote it in 1095. Here it is (I translate it into English; If you can read Chinese, make sure you read the Chinese version cause it's way much better^_^) :

A Butterfly in Love with a Flower

It is the time of the year

When red petals drift away

While apricots are still small and not sweet

Most willow catkins have been blown away

Yet everywhere the green grass can be seen

Quietly a stream flows through the village

And a pair of swallows forms a lovely scene


Outside a wall of a house

A man walks by

Inside the wall

A fair lady can be heard laughing on a swing

The girl laughs

The man listens

Till the laughter inside the wall finally fades away

The man utters a sigh

The poet remarks

Love irritates and the enchanted people can only sigh
