Lines Cited, in Dejection, on Mike Geary's Leaving of the Bildung

George Gordon Lord Byron (1788-1824)
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage: Canto the Third
(excerpt)
I
              1     Is thy face like thy mother's, my fair child!
              2     Ada! sole daughter of my house and heart?
              3     When last I saw thy young blue eyes they smil'd,
              4     And then we parted--not as now we part,
              5     But with a hope.--Awaking with a start,
              6     The waters heave around me; and on high
              7     The winds lift up their voices: I depart,
              8     Whither I know not; but the hour's gone by,
              9     When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine 
eye.

Hi guys and gals and gays,
I've never understood a single world Richard Hinninge has written, nor palma, 
nor Walter O. and very few of Donal's or RP's or JL's, I'm sometimes jealous 
that I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about, but not usually.  
I'm comfortable in my ignorance so long as I feel good about myself.  The 
concerns that I concern myself with usually concern my emotional life, not my 
philosophical angst.  So get a life, fellas.  Thankfully, this list hasn't what 
you guys want it to be -- an athenaeum dedicated to lectures in the various 
branches of Philosophy, Rhetoric, Grammar and  Jurisbullshitery -- instead, 
it's like Oprah.   : )   Even so,  I must leave you for a period.  Yes, yes, 
Walter won't have me to kick around anymore.  At least not for awhile.  But 
I'll be back and, no doubt with a vengeance.  Things have gotten godawful 
disarrayed here and will take a bit of time to straighten out, else I'd never 
let you I-know-everything  kind of people live in peace.

Peace,
Mike Geary
