Farewell the hope that mocked, farewell despair
That went before me still and made the pace.
The earth is full of graves, and mine was there
Before my life began; my resting-place.
--
"The Last Journey", from The Testament of John Davidson (London: Grant Richards, 1908) p. 146.

It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.

 

Jean-Paul Sartre

 

My best! my last friends!
Let's not unman each other: part at once:
All farewells should be sudden, when for ever,
Else they make an eternity of moments,
And clog the last sad sands of life with tears.
Hence, and be happy: trust me, I am not
Now to be pitied; or far more for what
Is past than present; — for the future, 'tis
In the hands of the deities, if such
There be: I shall know soon. Farewell — Farewell.

 

Lord Byron

 

Farewell, farewell to thee, Araby's daughter!
Thus warbled a Peri beneath the dark sea.

 

Thomas Moore

 

Farewell!
For in that word, that fatal word,—howe'er
We promise, hope, believe,—there breathes despair.

 

Lord Byron

 

I only know we loved in vain;
I only feel — farewell! farewell!

 

Lord Byron
