Best, finest surgeon
A lordling in a country and era without any need for lords.
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.
The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow—
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.
They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met—
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
-George Gordon, Lord Byon - "When We Two Parted"
I can't stress enough how engaging this game is to play. I first heard about it on NPR several months ago, and had initially dismissed it as another attempt at edutainment made by clueless mediocrities, but in reality Fate of the World is an incredibly in-depth, Magic-meets-Civilization-style strategy game that has kept me interested for far longer than I would have expected. I definitely recommend buying it!
