Sit here, quietly, with lowered eyes, / not thinking; let us dream. Let have their fling / love that wears out and happiness that flies,

Paul Verlaine, from Circumspection (tr. by C.F. MacIntyre); Jadis et naguère, 1884

“Not only the fervor of these unfolded forces, not only the pathways, not only the meadows at evening, not only the air with ozone of recent thunderstorm, not only approaching sleep and a premonition, at evening... but the nights! But the lofty nights of summer, but the stars, the stars of earth. Oh, some day to be dead and to know them forever, all the stars, for how, how could we forget them!“

- Rainer Maria Rilke trans. by C.F. MacIntyre, “The Second Elegy” from Duino Elegies
