Only imagine a human being condemned to perpetual youth while all around him decay and die. O, how sincerely would he call upon death for deliverance! - James Sharp How could I, blest with thee, long nights employ; And how with the longest day enjoy! [Lat., Quam vellem longas tecum requiescere noctes, Et tecum longos pervigilare dies.] - Albius Tibullus, Carmina (III, 6, 53) They most enjoy the world who least admire. - Edward Young Displaying page 2 of 2 for this topic: << Prev 1 [2]
