Elle chemine, belle de nuit
I cannot hide what I am. I must be sad when I have cause and smile at no man’s jests, eat when I have stomach and wait for no man’s leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and tend on no man’s business, laugh when I am merry and claw no man in his humor. (Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing, Act I, Scene 3)
“Awake thee my lady love, awake thee and rise… the sun through the bower beats into thy eyes”, or something like that. (Jean Simmons quotes George Darley, Morning Song, 1827)
“And when she smiled, it was as if the moon came out”, a remark by T. S. Eliot

The way to dusty death…

Strength in what remains behind.
