"now my heart is full"

Posted by Mikko on July 24, 2005

Does the phrase "now my heart is full" come from some specific source, and what is the context of this exclamation?

I know it's a title of a Morrissey song - a fine song indeed. Since Morrissey often uses quotes from poetry and literature in his lyrics, I thought "now my heart is full" might come from somewhere too, Dickens for example.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
