Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Sextus Propertius, Elegies

Roman poet (? - 15 BC)

He died in 15 BC, long before 1602, as someone thought here that it was first used.

Answer 5

The quote is "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" a changed form of and abbreviation of the following original quotes:

The Roman poet Sextus Propertius gave us the earliest form of this saying in Elegies:

"Always toward absent lovers love's tide stronger flows."

The contemporary version appears first as the title of an anonymous English poem in 1602. It wasn't until the 19th century that the phrase began to be used more widely, with Thomas Haynes Bayly's (1797-1839) song Isle of Beauty, published posthumously in 1850:

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Isle of Beauty, Fare thee well!"
