• Everybody dies. There’s nothing you can do about it. Whether or not you eat six almonds a day. Whether or not you believe in God. (Although there’s no question a belief in God would come in handy. It would be great to think there’s a plan, and that everything happens for a reason. I don’t happen to believe that.

• Have you found your life distasteful?
  My life did, and does, smack sweet.
  Was your youth of pleasure wasteful?
  Mine I saved and hold complete.
  Do your joys with age diminish?
  When mine fail me, I'll complain.
  Must in death your daylight finish?
  My sun sets to rise again.
