My candle burns at both ends ;
It will not last the night ;
But, ah, my foes and oh, my friends —
It gives a lovely light!

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or secret gate
And though I have oft passed them by
A day will come when at last will I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun

~~ J.R.R. Tolkien
