Poem- Lord Byron (THE GIAOUR)

Vampir Metrou's 100th Post!


Lord Byron

The Pasha at war



This is my 100th post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy 100th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The Giaour,

This peom has an odd vampiric connection. For the vampir connection go here-


The Giaour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



'Twas but an instant he restrainedThat fiery barb so sternly reined;'Twas but a moment that he stood,Then sped as if by death pursued;But in that instant 0'er his soulWinters of memory seemed to roll,And gather in that drop of timeA life of pain, an age of crime.O'er him who loves, or hates, or fears,Such moment pours the grief of years:What felt he then, at once opprestBy all that most distracts the breast?That pause, which pondered o'er his fate,Oh, who its dreary length shall date!Though in time's record nearly nought,It was eternity to thought!For infinite as boundless spaceThe thought that conscience must embrace,Which in itself can comprehendWoe without name, or hope, or end.

The Giaour ( an excerpt)......Lord Byron
