“... for you will never, I trust, disconnect what you may yourselves be learning from the hope and prospect of being enabled thereby to teach others more effectually.

“Sunshine,blinds you if you stare but,Now I see, crystal clear.So here I am,You can take or leave me.But I won't ever be anywhere but here.And I'm begging you,Bring me back to life,I just can't stand leaving you alone tonight.It's too late to go,Already taken me forever just to try, you know.For the life of me,I don't know why it took me so long to see.”
