The Library (1881) by Andrew Lang
“Selling books is nearly as bad as losing friends, than which life has no worse sorrow. A book is a friend whose face is constantly changing. If you read it when you are recovering from an illness, and return to it years after, it is changed https://t.co/pXfKEyMV4F

Sonnet 29: When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes
by William Shakespeare
When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more https://t.co/NFaWoQpS6p

by Walt Whitman
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave https://t.co/RO3N0lnXDr

The British poet, Lord Byron, was born on this day in 1788. Here is his poem, She Walks in Beauty…
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender https://t.co/IJ8hZoEPY6
