Additional quotes by Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

Unseen hands delay
The coming of what seems close in ken,
And, contrary, the moment when we say
"'Twill never come!" comes on us even then.

You know
There are moments when silence, prolong'd and unbroken,
More expressive may be than all words ever spoken.

Since we parted, yester eve,
I do love thee, love, believe,
Twelve times dearer, twelve hours longer,
One dream deeper, one night stronger,
One sun surer,—thus much more
Than I loved thee, love, before.
