‘It is time for you to come with me’ ‘The night has only just begun’ ‘For you the night will not begin’ ‘Take your shadow far from here’ ‘You will not feel the morning breeze’...

&quot;A thin layer of trust had formed in my mind, like a scab.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;I preferred albums to the more modern eight tracks. Albums came with sleeves which reminded me of clean underwear.&quot; <br /> -Augusten Burroughs

Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night by Dylan Thomas<br /> <br /> Do not go gentle into that good night,<br /> Old age should burn and rave at close of day;<br /> Rage, rage against the dying of the light.<br /> <br /> Though wise men at their end know dark is right,<br /> Because their words had forked no lightning they<br /> Do not go gentle into that good night.<br /> <br /> Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright<br /> Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,<br /> Rage, rage against the dying of the light.<br /> <br /> Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,<br /> And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,<br /> Do not go gentle into that good night.<br /> <br /> Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight<br /> Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,<br /> Rage, rage against the dying of the light.<br /> <br /> And you, my father, there on the sad height,<br /> Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.<br /> Do not go gentle into that good night.<br /> Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

&quot;Childhood Is the Kingdom Where Nobody Dies.&quot;<br /> &quot;Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age<br /> The child is grown, and puts away childish things.<br /> Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.&quot; -Edna St.Vincent Millay
