{ SWEETER TO BE DRUNK WITH LOSS }

Welcome

Still onward winds the dreary way;
I with it; for I long to prove
No lapse of moons can canker Love,
Whatever fickle tongues may say.
- canto XXVI

What is a Fanlisting?

A fanlisting is, quite simply, an online list of fans of a subject. People from all over the world may join. There are no costs, and the only requirements are that you provide your name and country. Most fanlistings (including this one) give you access to small buttons that you can display on your own website, allowing you to proclaim your love for the fanlisting's subject.

Excerpt

Come then, pure hands, and bear the head
That sleeps or wears the mask of sleep,
And come, whatever loves to weep,
And hear the ritual of the dead.

Ah yet, ev'n yet, if this might be,
I, falling on his faithful heart,
Would breathing thro' his lips impart
The life that almost dies in me;

That dies not, but endures with pain,
And slowly forms the firmer mind,
Treasuring the look it cannot find,
The words that are not heard again.

- canto XVIII
