Happy Birthday Slaymesoftly!
I tried to get this to post on Jan. 25, but DW didn't want to play.
So here is your birthday post a bit early.
You are celebrating your birthday but the rest of us are
celebrating the anniversary of you arriving in the world
and making it a better, happier place for us.
Happy Birthday.
George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
"When We Two Parted"
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.
The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow -
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.
They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me -
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well: -
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met -
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee? -
With silence and tears.

I believe that William would have enjoyed Lord Byron's poems.
I think he would have remembered this one after the episode of
"The Girl In Question" from ATS. Spike and Angel both believed
the tale that Andrew toldthem about Buffy moving on with the Immortal.
I believe that Spike felt that Buffy lied to him in the Hellmouth.
That she told a dying man something to comfort him in his last moments.
And when he joined ATS, Angel did his best to make Spike believe that as well.
OnceSpike became corporeal, he had sex with Harmony. He did that because
he thought Buffy didn't love him so he didn't feel that he was cheating on her.
Spike and Angel took a trip to Rome on business, but mostly because
Buffy was there with the Immortal. Both vampires thought they saw her
on the dance floor with him. Andrew gave them false information. We know
that now due to the comics. I don't read the comics, but my flist keeps me
up to date on them. It seems even in the comics, Spike still believes Buffy
doesn't love him. Can't blame him because Buffy is not just Queen of Denial,
but master of mixed messages as well.
And I couldn't just do one generated photo of my favorite couple so here are
a few more....
