    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
    ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    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”

    Lord Byron
    “But first, on earth as vampire sent,
    Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent,
    Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
    And suck the blood of all thy race.

    There from thy daughter, sister, wife,
    At midnight drain the stream of life,
    Yet loathe the banquet which perforce
    Must feed thy livid living corse.

    Thy victims ere they yet expire
    Shall know the demon for their sire,
    As cursing thee, thou cursing them,
    Thy flowers are withered on the stem.”
    ― Lord Byron
