This barren verbiage, current among men, Light coin, the tinsel clink of compliment.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
What was once to me mere matter of the fancy now has grown the vast necessity of heart and life.

The night comes on that knows not morn, When I shall cease to be all alone, To live forgotten, and love forlorn.
