The 'Origin of Love!'--Ah why <br />That cruel question ask of me, <br />When thou may'st read in many an eye <br />He starts to life on seeing thee? <br /> <br />And should'st thou seek his end to know: <br />My heart forebodes, my fears foresee <br />He'll linger long in silent woe; <br />But live--until I cease to be.<br /><br />George Gordon Byron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-being-asked-what-was-the-origin-of-love/
