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

You visited my dream last night — fierce, self-possessed, and oddly gentle with me.
You step away, you return.
It’s tender. It’s strange.
How long does it last? https://t.co/09EkM42IAa

"Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering... There is nothing in the world more difficult to understand than the methods of the man who is in love with suffering."

O Me! O Life!
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

A Red, Red Rose
by Robert Burns

O my Luve is like a red, red rose
   That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
   That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
   So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
   Till a’ the https://t.co/j7PBhc0PNl

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

Invictus
by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
      Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
      For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
      I have not winced nor cried aloud.

When We Two Parted
by Lord Byron

When we two parted
  In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
  To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
  Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
  Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
  Sunk chill on my brow--
It felt https://t.co/mExtQoajTZ
