Lord Byron – November 16, 1814

November 16, 1814

My Heart –

We are thus far separated – but after all one mile is as bad as a thousand – which is a great consolation to one who must travel six hundred before he meets you again.  If it will give you any satisfaction – I am as comfortless as a pilgrim with peas in his shoes – and as cold as Charity – Chastity or any other Virtue.

Lord Byron, English poet, to Annabella Milbanke, his future wife.
