A Lament

Name: A Lament
Author: Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton

A brass spyglass on a small rocky rise, pointing toward an orange sun at the distant horizon beneath a blue dusk sky. — Original artwork

Memory, no less than hope, owes its charm to “the far away.”

Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton

Two lives that once part are as ships that divide When, moment on moment, there rushes between The one and the other a sea; Ah, never can fall from the days that have been A gleam on the years that shall be!

Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton
