This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies, and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions.
Lord ByronKnow ye not who would be free themselves must strike the blow? by their right arms the conquest must be wrought?
Lord ByronOh! might I kiss those eyes of fire, A million scarce would quench desire; Still would I steep my lips in bliss, And dwell an age on every kiss; Nor then my soul should sated be, Still would I kiss and cling to thee: Nought should my kiss from thine dissever, Still would we kiss and kiss for ever; E'en though the numbers did exceed The yellow harvest's countless seed; To part would be a vain endeavour: Could I desist? -ah! never-never.
Lord Byron
