In P.B. Shelley's letters,
Thomas Peacock annotates that Shelley had sent Byron a pamphlet of his poem Queen Mab
[quot. marks] long before they actually met
[add source]. Byron greatly admired the opening lines. Now, the actual opening lines were a dedication to Harriet, but I think Peacock must mean the poem itself:
HOW wonderful is Death, Death, and his brother Sleep!
One, pale as yonder waning moon With lips of lurid blue; The other, rosy as the morn When throned on ocean's wave It blushes o'er the world; Yet both so passing wonderful!
How could you make your opening paragraph more engaging? Also, you need a conclusion.
