For in the days we know not of
Did fate begin
Weaving the web of days that wove
Your doom.

More quotes by Algernon Charles Swinburne
Life is the lust of a lamp for the light that is dark till the dawn of the day that we die.
My loss may shine yet goodlier than your gain
When time and God give judgment.
Fear that makes faith may break faith; and a fool
Is but in folly stable.
The loves and hours of the life of a man,
They are swift and sad, being born of the sea.
