“
Thou shalt believe in Milton, Dryden, Pope;
— George Gordon Byron
Thou shalt believe in Milton, Dryden, Pope;
Between two worlds life hovers like a star,
I live not in myself, but I become
The stars are forth, the moon above the tops
Tis strange,-but true; for truth is always strange;
But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
She walks in beauty, like the night
They never fail who die in a great cause.
For truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.
But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most must mourn the deepest o’er the fatal truth, the Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.
