“Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.”

“Mine is a body that should die at sea!
And have for a grave, instead of a grave
Six feet deep and the length of me,
All the water that is under the wave!
And terrible fishes to seize my flesh,
Such as a living man might fear,
And eat me while I am firm and fresh, -
Not wait till I鈥檝e been dead for a year!”
― Millay

Not wait till I鈥檝e been dead for a year!”

“He put his head down and charged at the mirror. Perhaps it was a teleportation door to another section of the city, perhaps a simple doorway to a room beyond. Or perhaps, Alton dared to imagine in those few desperate seconds, this was some interplanar gate that would being him into a strange and unknown plane of existence!
He felt the tingling excitement of adventure pulling him on as he neared the wonderer thing - then he felt only the impact, the shattering glass, and the unyielding stone wall behind it.
Perhaps it was just a mirror.”

“Time Does Not Bring Relief
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year鈥檚 leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year鈥檚 bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.
There are a hundred places where I fear
To go,鈥攕o with his memory they brim.
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his foot or shone his face
I say, 鈥淭here is no memory of him here!鈥�
And so stand stricken, so remembering him.”
― Collected Poems
