Hi everyone!

So, my father is a huge literature nut, and remembers essentially everything verbatim he has ever read. There is one poem that he absolutely is in desperate need to find, however he does not use computers, and all of us that are helping him look for this poem are running out of options with useless search engines. He believes it is from 19th or 20th century Britain, and only remember ONE line.

"hair dark, lip at rest, parted from that delight"

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR TO ANYONE!?! if so...I would greatly appreciate your help if you could tell me the poet and title. If not, does anyone have a great site that would allow me to find a poem with such little information? Thank you very much for your time.

Wrong answer. Please reply with a good answer when it is applied to something important to poems. This poem is our view of nature. Therefore, it is probably some Greek poet who wrote this while he was in the beautiful garden, smelling the butterflies and drinking beer. Now, this might sound ironic, but the literature is the truth to the philosophy of his own opinions about nature. Therefore, a Greek poet wrote this.
