“Blot out the moon,
Pull down the stars.
Love in the dark, for we're for the dark
So soon, so soon.”

“The stars looked like nail heads in the sky--pull a few of them out and the darkness would fall.”

“Gay love, God save it, so soone hotte, so soone colde.”

“Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold: this is no stability. But the old love was not so.”

“Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire,
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late emerged from, shall so soon expire.”

“Sing, laugh; be happy, be famous;
Each one of you will soon be in the darkness.”

“His library was a fine dark place bricked with books, so anything could happen there and always did. All you had to do was pull a book from the shelf and open it and suddenly the darkness was not so dark anymore.”

“Soon we will plunge into the cold darkness;
Farewell, vivid brightness of our too-short summers!”

“Love- the infatuation kind- 'he's so handsome, she's so beautiful'- that can shrivel. As soon as something goes wrong, that kind of love can fly out the window.”

“The Suicide, as she is falling,
Illuminated by the moon,
Regrets her act, and finds appalling
The thought she will be dead so soon.”
