Luxurious lobster-nights, farewell,
For sober, studious days!

"A Farewell to London", st. 1 (1715).Alexander Pope
» Alexander Pope - all quotes »
One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now, out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.
Dylan Thomas
It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Could man be drunk for ever
With liquor, love, or fights,
Lief should I rouse at mornings
And lief lie down of nights.
But men at whiles are sober
And think by fits and starts,
And if they think, they fasten
Their hands upon their hearts.A. E. Housman
Farewell, farewell to thee, Araby's daughter!
Thus warbled a Peri beneath the dark sea.Thomas Moore
When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
-- A Farewell To Kings (1977)Neil Peart
