Till night shall also veil each star!
Thou seeest a twofold marvel there:
The only face so fair as thine,
The only eyes that, near or far,
Can gaze on thine without despair.
J. C. Mangan.
Has anyone ever pinched into its pillulous smallness the cobweb of pre-matrimonial acquaintanceship?
George Eliot (Middlemarch).
