quotes i like from Lord Byron's Don Juan (Canto 1):
the future is a serious matter
her eye (i'm very fond of handsome eyes)
was large and dark, suppressing half its fire
until she spoke, then through its soft disguise
flash'd an expression more of pride than ire,
and love than either; and there would arise
a something in them which was not desire,
but would have been, perhaps, but for the soul
which struggled through and chasten'd down the whole
jealousy dislikes the world to know it
but who, alas! can love, and then be wise?
'elle vous suit partout,'*
*she follows you everywhere
