For the moon never beams without bringing
Me dreams...And the stars never rise but I
Feel the bright eyes—your eyes—unwearyingly.
Shall I look upon this dark evening sky?
Shall I remain, steadfastly, in this dream?
Shall I? Shall I? Oh envious am I?
Hide away moon, and your lustrous moonbeams…
For I am hypnotized and soon shall die.
Do not entice me with your splendor oh moon!
Shall I? Shall I? Shall I let you me mine?
Yes!...No!...Oh my thoughts are wholly bestrewn!
Shall I stay steadfastly in your bright shine?
Shall I…shall…shall I die in your bright eyes?
I shall, steadfastly, receive my demise!

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
