“When in the down I sink my head,Sleep, Death's twin-brother, times my breath;Sleep, Death's twin-brother, knows not Death,Nor can I dream of thee as dead:”
“Death was a friend, and sleep was Death's brother.”
“Death's brother, sleep.”
“Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream, And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?---"On death”
“When I can't sleep, I always wrap something around my neck and close my eyes and imagine myself being strangled to death. Then I can fall asleep--it feels like sinking deep underwater”
“Some people sleep their lives away. But I also want to sleep death away. If I sleep long enough, maybe death will think I’m already dead and pass me by.”
