There is something about classic literature that hits different - which is not to say that modern literature lacks depth - there is just something so incredible about reading something and knowing that these same words were consumed by people decades, centuries before you took your first breath.

francesca by hozier is easily one of the best love songs out there.
the fact that she is suffering an eternity of torture which includes being stuck in a hurricane but still loves paolo just as much as she loved him when they were alive
the fact that hozier said in an interview: "there's no punishment in spending an eternity arm in arm with the person you'd die for"
the fact that she admits that she would do it all again (go through a terrible death and then litreal hell and torture) just to hold him for a single minute
the fact that the song ends with the lyrics "heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i" and were the song played on repeat the end would flow perfectly with the beginning in order to mimic the hurricane

Dante Alighieri
