In this world, the Isle of Dreams,<br /> While we sit by sorrow&#039;s streams,<br /> Tears and terrors are our themes,<br /> Reciting:<br /> <br /> But when once from hence we fly,<br /> More and more approaching nigh<br /> Unto young eternity,<br /> Uniting<br /> <br /> In that whiter Island, where<br /> Things are evermore sincere:<br /> Candour here, and lustre there,<br /> Delighting:--<br /> <br /> There no monstrous fancies shall<br /> Out of hell an horror call,<br /> To create, or cause at all<br /> Affrighting.<br /> <br /> There, in calm and cooling sleep,<br /> We our eyes shall never steep,<br /> But eternal watch shall keep,<br /> Attending<br /> <br /> Pleasures such as shall pursue<br /> Me immortalized, and you;<br /> And fresh joys, as never too<br /> Have ending. <br /> <br /> Robert Herrick

&quot;Emotions? Nope, I&#039;ve got nothin&#039; like that. I told you when we first met, didn&#039;t I? I&#039;m a snake. With cold skin, no emotions, that slithers around searching for prey with its tongue, swallowing down whatever looks tasty&quot; <br /> -Gin Ichimaru
