Lord Byron added an additional stanza that he never published. Wonder why?
🤔🤣😉 Here's the (not-published) last stanza:

Then—fare thee well—Fanny—
Now doubly undone—
To prove false unto many—
As faithless to One—
Thou art past all recalling
Even would I recall—
For the woman once falling
Forever must fall.
[The poem was about Byron's failed affair with Lady Frances Webster.)

Death is a difficult topic because it is so abstract. It often raises more questions than it answers. It is especially difficult to face the loss of someone we love. These 4 grandchildren try to keep Death awake by plying him w/ coffee. Maybe he‘ll go away and forget about taking their grandma. But Death tells the kiddos a story about the importance of grief and sorrow enhancing our joy and delight. A tender, delicate story w/ lovely illustrations

• If my mood had a color while reading the tagged book, it would be a deep, dark somber blue 💙

Riveting. Monstrous. Heartbreaking. Overwhelming. True.

Read. This. Book. Yesterday. •
