No flowers, no garlands gay? All blasted?

All wasted?

Not so, my heart; but there is fruit,

And thou hast hands.

(George Herbert, "The Collar")

One short sleep past, we wake eternally,

And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

She is all states, and all princes I,

Nothing else is.

All honor's mimic, all wealth alchemy.

Thorough the iron gates of life:

Thus, though we cannot make our sun

Stand still, yet we will make him run.
