Be Not Afreard....


Be not afeard, the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometimes voices
That if I then had wak’d after long sleep
Will make me sleep again; and then in dreaming
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I wak’d
I cried to dream again.

Caliban from the Tempest

Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
