&quot;Yet ah! why should they know their fate?&nbsp;<br /> Since sorrow never comes too late,&nbsp;<br /> And happiness too swiftly flies.&nbsp;<br /> Thought would destroy their paradise.&nbsp;<br /> No more; where ignorance is bliss,&nbsp;<br /> &#039;Tis folly to be wise.&quot; - Thomas Gray, exerpt from &#039;An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard&#039;
