B. Valentine's Day Advertisement
|
On February 14, 1997, the London Post
published a Valentine's Day "Love Note" that Lord Byron had placed.
Facsimile now available. The ad said: |
Lady
When we two parted in silence & tears
Half broken-hearted to sever for years
Pale grew thy cheek
Cold, colder thy kiss
Surely that day foretold sorrow to this.
The dew of the morning lay chill on my brow
It felt like a warning of what I feel now
Thy vows are all broken & light is thy fame
I hear thy name spoken and share in its shame
.... Long long shall I rue thee to deeply to tell
... & if I should meet thee after long years
How shall I greet thee?
In silence and tears.
L.B. |
