"The Pre-Nup"
Few - none - find what they love or could have loved,
Though accident, blind contact, and the strong
Necessity of loving, have removed
Antipathies - but to recur, ere long,
Envenomed with irrevocable wrong;
And Circumstance, that unspiritual god
And miscreator, makes and helps along
Our coming evils with a crutch-like rod,
Whose touch turns Hope to dust, - the dust we all have trod.
- Lord Byron, 4th Canto, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
