Re: Favourite lines of poetry/verse?
Kay, this thread is a good un, lacking the usual witnit comments etc, and some admirable work been sited. Poe and Kipling are wonderful, and all the quotes of real poetry so far have been spot on.
So here's my very favourite as mentioned in the OP, by Byron:
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
