Changed! There the epitaph of all the years
Was sounded! I am changed too. Let it be.
Yet it is sad to know my latest tears
Were faithful to a memory, -- not to thee.
Nothing is left us! nothing -- save the soul.
Yet even the immortal in us alters too.
Who is it his old sensations can renew?
Slowly the seas are changed...

~Lord Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton, The Wanderer
