Quote by John Milton
When the waves are round me breaking,As I pace the deck alone,

When the waves are round me breaking,
As I pace the deck alone,
And my eye in vain is seeking
Some green leaf to rest upon;
What would not I give to wander
Where my old companions dwell?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Isle of Beauty, fare thee well! – John Milton

Time is the fire in which we burn. – Delmore Schwartz
