“If of their pleasures and desires no end be found;
God to their cares and fears will set no bound.
What would content you? Who can tell?
Ye fear so much to lose what you have got
As if ye liked it well.
Ye strive for more, as if ye liked it not.”

Abraham Cowley (1618–1667) British writer

Though I've loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears.”

He shrugged again.
"Something," he said. "Something like you, something like a beast, something like a bird, something like an angel." He laughed. "Something like that.”
