Earth’s distant orb appeared
The smallest light that twinkles in the heaven;
Whilst round the chariot’s way
Innumerable systems rolled


...


In this interminable wilderness
Of worlds















Queen Mab Begins

              




              How wonderful is Death,               
              Death, and his brother Sleep!
            One, pale as yonder waning moon 
              With lips of lurid blue; 
              The other, rosy as the morn 
            When throned on ocean's wave 
                   It blushes o'er the world; 
            Yet both so passing wonderful!

    "Even Love is Sold" - PBS or Kim Kardashian? Then again, his note to _Queen Mab_ endorses divorce: "any law which should bind them to cohabitation for one moment after the decay of their affection would be a most intolerable tyranny"
