In Memoriam - Aioros and Saga
When I read this beautiful poem by Tennyson it just screamed Aioros and Saga to me. If you don't know them and their sad yaoi story just enojoy the beautiful verses by one of the best poets of the XIX century.
In Memoriam
[...]
Be near me when my light is low,
when the blood creeps, and the nerves prick
and tingle; and the heart is sick,
and all the wheels of Being slow...
Be near me when my faith is dry...
be near me when I fade away,
to point the term of human strife,
and on the low dark verge of life
the twilight of eternal day.
Oh yet we trust that somehow good
will be the final goal of ill...
That nothing walks with aimless feet;
that not one life shall be destroy’d,
or cast as rubbish to the void,
when God hath made the pile complete...
So runs my dream: but what am I?
an infant crying in the night:
an infant crying for the light:
and with no language but a cry.
I cannot see the features right,
when on the gloom I strive to paint
the face I know; the hues are faint
and mix with hollow masks of night...
