“There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
And those i kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.

When i kill, I do it slow....”

“For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know.”
