Sings the tune without words and never stops at all.&quot;<br /> ~ Emily Dickinson<br /> ---<br /> &quot;Sometimes I&#039;m terrified of my heart; of it&#039;s constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts.&quot;<br /> ~ Edgar Allan Poe<br /> ---<br /> &quot;To a great mind, nothing is little.&quot;<br /> ~ Sherlock Holmes
