“How I wish I were by the sea again.This slack season the men must be paintingthe hulls of the boats or sleeping the noon away.I would not sleep if I were they.”
“I wished I could shut it in a locket to wear aroung my neck. I wish a thousand-year sleep would find us, at this absolute second, like the sleep over the castle of Sleeping Beauty.”
“Would that death were like this. Would that one would sleep and sleep and sleep forever.”
“Now, if I were there, I would kiss away your tears. But I'm not-so go to sleep.”
“In sleep I heard the northern gleams;The stars they were among my dreams;In sleep did I behold the skies”
“I say I don't sleep with married men, but what I mean is that I don't sleep with happily married men.”
