Don Juan 02-188
Canto the Second

CLXXXVIII

They were alone, but not alone as they
     Who shut in chambers think it loneliness;
The silent ocean, and the starlight bay,
     The twilight glow which momently grew less,
The voiceless sands and dropping caves, that lay
     Around them, made them to each other press,
As if there were no life beneath the sky
Save theirs, and that their life could never die.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) ByronLong
