“Tonight I Can Write”
“Tonight I can write the saddest lines...Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last verses that I write for her.”
“Tonight I can write the saddest linesI loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”
“I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”
“I can write better than anybody who can write faster, and i can write faster than anybody who can write better.”
“I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more. Penniless, and at the end of my supply of the drug which alone makes life endurable, I can bear the torture no longer; and shall cast myself from this garret window into the squalid street below.”
