Line(s) of the Day #WHAuden

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Taken from the poem ‘The More Loving One’ in 1957 by W.H. Auden

Line(s) of the Day #WhenYouAreOld

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Taken from the poem ‘ When you are Old’ (1893) by William Butler Yeats
