Said Francis Thompson:

Nothing begins, and nothing ends,
That is not paid with moan;
For we are born in others’ pain,
And perish in our own.

    I like poems.

    Said Emily Dickinson

    It might be easier
    To fail with land in sight
    Than gain my blue peninsula
    To perish of delight

    Francis said:

    The fairest things have fleetest end,
    Their scent survives their close:
    But the rose’s scent is bitterness
    To him that loved the rose.
