I found a couple of quotes from Robert Plant about Stairway to Heaven on a website called enotes.com:  “It [the song] was done very quickly.  It took a little working out, but it was a fluid, unnaturally easy track.  It was almost as if — uh oh — it just had to be gotten out at the time.  There was something pushing it saying, ‘You guys are okay, but if you want to do something timeless, here’s a wedding song for you.’ . . .  Robert Plant once stated that the song was ‘. . . a woman’s quest for spiritual perfection’ and ‘. . . a simple wedding song’.”
