To die, to sleep
\nTo sleep perchance to dream,
\nAye there’s the rub,
\nFor in that sleep of death
\nWhat dreams may come?<\/p>\n
-Shakespeare<\/p>\n
They say
\n“None but the dead sleep”
\nBut I am tired, and my eyes are closing
\nPlease God, not me, not here, not now.<\/p>\n
-Beth Ciha<\/p>\n
If hopes were dupes, then fears may be liars
\nIt may be in yon smoke concealed
\nthat your comrades chase e’en now the flyers
\nAnd, but for you, possess the field
\n…
\nAnd not by eastern windows only,
\nWhen the daylight comes, comes in the light
\nIn front the sun climbs slow, how slowly
\nBut westward look, the land is bright<\/p>\n
-Clough<\/p>\n
My candle burns at both ends, it will not last the night
\nBut ah my foes and oh my friends it gives a lovely light<\/p>\n
-Edna St Vincent Millay<\/p>\n
That ones definitely pushing the theme. <\/p>\n
