<br />
"It's getting dark, better light the cadles quick!<br />
Lock the Door and grab your crucifix!<br />
A prayer won't save you tonight,<br />
Nor garlic from Dracula's bite.<br />
Evil lurks within your shadows, embrace the light,<br />
Make it your refuge at midnight.<br />
A goblet of your sorrow is enough to live through tomorrow.<br />
Don't let your fear see your eyes,<br />
Hope that you will see the sun rise... "<br />
-(Anon)<br />
<br />
"Ere the birth of my life, if I wished it or no<br />
No question was asked me--it could not be so !<br />
If the life was the question, a thing sent to try<br />
And to live on be YES; what can NO be ? to die.<br />
<br />
NATURE'S ANSWER<br />
<br />
Is't returned, as 'twas sent ? Is't no worse for the wear ?<br />
Think first, what you ARE ! Call to mind what you WERE !<br />
I gave you innocence, I gave you hope,<br />
Gave health, and genius, and an ample scope,<br />
Return you me guilt, lethargy, despair ?<br />
Make out the invent'ry ; inspect, compare !<br />
Then die--if die you dare !" <br />
-(Samuel Coleridge)
