"Why me?" I cry,
and it echoes all about.
"Why not?" you ask.
Why not me, couched in joys,
so snug I forgot?
Why not me, when far and wide
a cold night sheathes
trembling limbs, alone as
naked stones in the wind?
Why not mine this pain
of a glitter glimpsed and denied?
Why the searing hurt when sorrow
is the ocean and I have only
a cupful to taste?

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
(Lewis Carroll)
"Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
(Dylan Thomas)

It's whacky!
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
(Lewis Carroll)
"Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
(Dylan Thomas)
