"Like a foam-topp’d waterspout
Cast down headlong in the sea,
She fell at last;
Pleasure past and anguish past,
Is it death or is it life?"

Christina Rossetti was born #OTD 1830 in London

"Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,
And ever changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?" (P.B. Shelley "To the Moon")

"The stalk is withered dry my love
So will our hearts decay
So make yourself
Content my love
Till death calls you away" (The Unquiet Grave)

“Happier are all men than the beings of faerie... Better a life like a falling star, brief and bright across the dark, than the long, long waiting of the immortals, loveless and cheerlessly wise.” (Poul Anderson, #BOTD 1926)

“It happened that in the midst of the dissipations attendant upon a London winter, there appeared at the various parties of the leaders of the ton a nobleman, more remarkable for his singularities, than his rank.” (John Poldiroi "The Vampyre")
