Arno Rafael Minkinnen & Lord Byron

In secret we met,
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?

With silence and tears.

George Gordon Byron

Meditation, photo by Andrea Simoncini, www.andreasimoncini.com



If we would know what heaven is before come thither, let us retire into the depths of our own spirit, and we shall find it there among holy thoughts and feelings.

Nathaniel Hawthorne, American Note-books, 1841
