I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes.
We have often little snatches of sunshine.
-- Webster 1913
A skeleton walks into a bar and asks for a beer and a mop.
Burne off my rusts, and my deformity,
Restore thine Image, so much, by thy grace,
That thou may’st know mee, and I’ll turne my face.
- - John Donne, Good Friday, 1613. Riding Westward.
Who can deny mee power, and liberty
To stretch mine armes, and mine owne Crosse to be?
- - The Crosse
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
`Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
.
I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm, as it was bright;
And round beneath it, Time in hours, days, years,
Driv'n by the spheres
Like a vast shadow mov'd; in which the world
And all her train were hurl'd.
- - Henry Vaughan
