About This Quote
The line is from the poem “I’m yours,” by Olive Patricia Dickason. The poem is about a young woman who loves her man very much. He loves her back but he is in love with someone else. She is willing to do anything for him to be hers forever.
She says that she is willing to die for him because she loves him so much. People always say that they are "as firm as a rock" when they are in love. They are willing to die for their love because they are so loyal to this person.
This example of how people say they are willing to die for their love shows how deep their love goes.
