#'i wandered lonely as a cloud' being an aziraphale-inspired line hits me full in the chest

[rollforjackass]

realizing that a lot of the famously mopey poets like tennyson, keats, and byron all came about in the same century that crowley took his long-ass nap. what if aziraphale was influencing the creation of sad yearning poetry for a full century because he missed crowley

#'i wandered lonely as a cloud' being an aziraphale-inspired line hits me full in the chest #don't get me STARTED on byron #'in secret we met / in silence i grieve / that my heart could forget / thy spirit deceive' #'if i should meet thee / after long years / how shall i greet thee? / with silence and tears' #oh my goddddd aziraphale you're gay and lonely we get it #every poet in the 19th century listening to a drunk aziraphale pine for his love who's left him like 'write that down WRITE THAT DOWN' #of course byron was also just. Like That Anyway #or......hear me out.......fabled nightmare houseguest and resident simp lord byron IS aziraphale #even better he's crowley who woke up early and doesn't know what to do with himself #nah i like aziraphale being a muse for a bunch of sad boy poets so much better #.....unless #good omens #aziraphale #crowley #oxly hollers
