    “Now I am alone with the dead,
    flying off bridges,
    hurling myself like a beer can into the wastebasket.

    leaving a jet stream
    of solitude....”

    “Come hither, all ye empty things,
    Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
    Who float upon the tide of state,
    Come hither, and behold your fate.

    How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
    From all his ill-got honours flung,
    Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
