Mmmm Byron
Oct. 22nd, 2003 11:24 pmJust random reading/searching... I think it's trying to tell me to write a Byron/Shelly story ala 'Rowing with the Wind'. I dunno... RP-fic isn't really my thing... but the lads are quite characters, and very dead so wouldn't know about it enough to be offended... so perhaps. Not like I don't have enough on my plate as it is, though!
XXII
Love 's a capricious power: I 've known it hold
Out through a fever caused by its own heat,
But be much puzzled by a cough and cold,
And find a quincy very hard to treat;
Against all noble maladies he's bold,
But vulgar illnesses don't like to meet,
Nor that a sneeze should interrupt his sigh,
Nor inflammations redden his blind eye
-Near the beginning of Byron's Don Juan: Canto II
