from Robert Pinsky

I drowned in the fire of having you, I burned

In the river of not having you, we lived

Together for hours in a house of a thousand rooms

And we were parted for a thousand years.

Ten minutes ago we raised our children who cover

The earth and have forgotten that we existed.

It was not maya, it was not a ladder to perfection,

It was this cold sunlight falling on this warm earth.

When I turned you went to Hell. When your ship

Fled the battle I followed you and lost the world

Without regret but with stormy recriminations.

Someday far down the corridor of horror the future

Someone who buys this picture of you for the frame

At a stall in a dwindled city will study your face

And decide to harbor it for a little while longer

From the waters of anonymity, the acids of breath.

from Benjamin...seriously

The first tremors of awakening serve to deepen sleep.

from the Writing Center's "Book of Shame"

"BUT" is a coordinating conjunction--it joins 2 independent clauses and merely expresses the relationship (of contrast) between them
"HOWEVER" is a conjunctive adverb and "belongs" more to--or primarily modifies--the second independent clause.

The difference is so linguistically subtle, though, that it's easier to just memorize the rule that "however,"when used to join two independent clauses, needs to be preceded by a SEMICOLON and followed by a comma.

from the book "Scotland and Wales: Nations Again?"

In the past, one of the more famous insults to which the Welsh took offence was that contained in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, an entry which encapsulated all the patronising indifference shown by the Victorians towards the Welsh identity--"for Wales - see England."

The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon is apparently universal. It is seen in speakers of many different languages. It is also seen in people with limited or no ability to read (Brennen, Vikan, & Dybdahl, 2007).
