    William Shakespeare
    “To die, - To sleep, - To sleep!
    Perchance to dream: - ay, there's the rub;

    When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
    Must give us pause: there's the respect
    That makes calamity of so long life;”

    Charles Baudelaire
    “From his soft fur, golden and brown,
    Goes out so sweet a scent, one night
    I might have been embalmed in it
    By giving him one little pet.

    He is my household's guardian soul;
    He judges, he presides, inspires
    All matters in his royal realm;
    Might he be fairy? or a god?

    When my eyes, to this cat I love
    Drawn as by a magnet's force,
    Turn tamely back upon that appeal,
    And when I look within myself,

    I notice with astonishment
    The fire of his opal eyes,
    Clear beacons glowing, living jewels,
    Taking my measure, steadily.”

    Dante Alighieri
    “I am the way into the city of woe,
    I am the way into eternal pain,
    I am the way to go among the lost.

    Justice caused my high architect to move,
    Divine omnipotence created me,
    The highest wisdom, and the primal love.

    Before me there were no created things
    But those that last forever—as do I.
    Abandon all hope you who enter here.”
