Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Lord Byron, Vol. 6 of 6 Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end For oftentimes when Pegasus seems winning The race, he sprains a wing, and down we tend, Like Lucifer when hurl'd from heaven for sinning Our sin the same, and hard as his to mend, Being pride, l which leads the mind to soar too far, Till our own weakness shows us what we are.
