Francis William Bourdillon

The Night has a thousand eyes,
And the Day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

The mind has a thousand eyes.
And the heart but one;
Yet the life of a whole life dies
When love is done.

Whenever you want to marry someone, go have lunch with his ex-wife.
