Though they sink through the sea, they shall rise again.
Though lovers be lost, love shall not,
And death shall have no dominion.

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

and you were to walk near my grave,
from the very depths of the earth
I would hear your footsteps.

And bread I broke with you was more than bread.
Now that I am without you, all is so desolate;
And all that once was so beautiful is dead.

Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries of the heart.

"I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC;
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I've run this poem threw it,
I'm sure your pleased too no,
Its letter perfect in it's weigh,
My checker tolled me sew."

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
- William Shakespeare, spoken by Macbeth, Macbeth,(Act V, scene v)

Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
- Dr. Seuss
