[A Guy]

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

~Dylan Thomas

If you love somebody, let them go,
for if they return, they were always yours.
And if they don't, they never were.

Venus and Adonis

Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry,
Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie,
And if those founts be dry, stray lower yet,
For moist with heaven's dew the valleys sigh

Your founts ne'er will be dry and lower yet, your valleys ere will be in gushing spate.
The sighs I hear will be in fullness deep requited.

For the one to whom that I so want to graze upon my lips, stray lower still for I am moist with heaven's dew and my valleys are sighing so.

William Shakespeare.

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.

At different stages in our lives, the signs of love may vary, dependence, attraction, contentment, worry, loyalty, grief,
but at heart the source is always the same.
Human beings have the rare capacity to connect with each other, against all odds.
