I argue thee that love is life
And life hath immortality.

Much Madness is divinest Sense --
To a discerning Eye --
Much Sense --the starkest Madness --

Dying is a wild night and a new road.

Ample make this Bed --
Make this Bed with Awe --
In it wait till Judgment break
Excellent and Fair.

"Fame is a bee
It has a song --
It has a sting --
Ah, too, it has a wing."
