their whole life.
They are the indispensable ones.”

But there are those who struggle all their lives:
These are the indispensable ones.

Combing with lifted arms her golden hair,
Of the lover who hurried towards her through the night;
And there was one who dreamed of a sudden death
As she blew out her light.”
