"And cried, homesick for his fair native lake:
"Rain, when will you fall? Thunder, when will you roll?"
I see that hapless bird, that strange and fatal myth"
(Baudelaire)

"Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."

Shakespeare's "Tempest" premiered 1611

And then we are, one and all, so pitifully afraid of the light…”

"Poor autumn
Dies in the whiteness and richness
Of snow and ripe fruit
Deep in the sky
The sparrow hawks glide
Above the tiny gentle green-haired water nymphs
Who have never loved" (Apollinaire)
