Love is not all
edna st. vincent millay

love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
and rise and sink and rise and sink again;
love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
yet many a man is making friends with death
even as i speak, for lack of love alone.
it well may be that in a difficult hour,
pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
or nagged by want past resolution’s power,
i might be driven to sell your love for peace,
or trade the memory of this night for food.
it well may be. i do not think i would.

"it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
