“Turn up the lights; I don’t want to go home in the dark.”

A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”

“The high that proved too high, the heroic for earth too hard,
The passion that left the ground to lose itself in the sky,
Are music sent up to God by the lover and the bard;
Enough that he heard it once; we shall hear it by and by.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
