Lyra & Will: A Poetic Tribute

I was a child and She was a child, 

In this kingdom by the sea, 

But we loved with a love that was more than love -

I and my Annabelle Lee -

With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven

Coveted her and me. 

- Edgar Allan Poe 

"Annabelle Lee"

Beyond a mortal man impassion'd far

At these voluptuous accents, he arose 

Ethereal, flush'd, and like a throbbing star

Seen mid the sapphire heaven's deep repose;

Into her dream he melted, as the rose 

Blendeth its odour with the violet, -

Solution sweet: meantime the frost-wind blows

Like Love's alarum pattering the sharp sleet

Against the window-panes: St. Agnes' moon hath set. 

- John Keats

"The Eve of St. Agnes"

And the gates of this Chapel were shut 

And Thou shalt not, writ over the door:

So I turn'd to the Garden of Love 

That so many sweet flowers bore.

- William Blake

"The Garden of Love" 

So, we'll go no more a roving 

So late into the night,

Though the heart be still as loving,

And the moon be still as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,

And the soul wears out the breast, 

And the heart must pause to breathe,

And love itself have rest. 

Though the night was made for loving,

And the day returns too soon,

Yet we'll go no more a roving

By the light of the moon. 

- Lord Byron

"So We'll Go No More a Roving"

Happy Valentine's Day 

And as Always 

Stay Dusty My Friends
