Lord Byron - And thou wert lovely to the last...

And thou wert lovely to the last,
Extinguish'd, not decay'd;
As stars that shoot along the sky
Shine brightest as they fall from high. (Lord Byron)

And thou wert lovely to the last, Extinguish'd, not decay'd; As stars that shoot along the sky Shine brightest as they fall from high.

Never day-beam hath shone o'er Lovelier or wilder shore! Half was land, and half was sea Where the eye could only see The blue sky for boundary.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Yann Martel

Safe were those evenings of the pre-war world When firelight shone on green linoleum, I heard the church bells hollowing out the sky, Deep beyond deep, like never-ending stars.

John Betjeman

Have you, in truth, ever seen something so heartbreakingly lovely? What are we to make of a world where stars shine bright in the midst of so much darkness and gloom?

Kate DiCamillo

Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north-wind's breath, And stars to set; but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!
