Time, That Is Pleased to Lengthen out the Day
Time, that is pleased to lengthen out the day
For grieving lovers parted or denied,
And pleased to hurry the sweet hours away

Is he that in my childhood was the thief
Of all my mother's beauty, and in woe
My father bowed, and brought our house to grief.

Your treasured curls, and your clear forehead line,
And so persuade me from you, he has lost;
Never shall he inherit what was mine.

Still will I hold you dear, and him accurst. — Edna St. Vincent Millay

Have nothing to do with quacks; — Lydia Maria Francis Child

At night, he writes his thoughts instead
and sighs as they steadily rush from his head. — Bo Burnham
