“Don Juan, who was real, or ideal,— For both are much the same, since what men think Exists when the once thinkers are less real Than what they thought, for mind can never sink, And ’gainst the body makes a strong appeal; And yet ’tis very puzzling on the brink Of what is call’d eternity, to stare, And know no more of what is here, than there—” — Lord Byron
Don Juan, who was real, or ideal,—
For both are much the same, since what men think
Exists when the once thinkers are less real
Than what they thought, for mind can never sink,
And ’gainst the body makes a strong appeal;
And yet ’tis very puzzling on the brink
Of what is call’d eternity, to stare,
And know no more of what is here, than there—
