“A spider lives inside my headWho weaves a strange and wondrous webOf silken threads and silver stringsTo catch all sorts of flying things,Like crumbs of thoughts and bits of smilesAnd specks of dried-up tears,And dust of dreams that catch and clingFor years and years and years...”
Shel Silverstein
Every Thing on It

“Above or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear,It lives all passionless and pure:An age shall fleet like earthly year;Its years in moments shall endure.Away, away, without a wing,O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly;A nameless and eternal thing,Forgetting what it was to die.”
George Byron
