يجب الحذر والحيطة من عدو أحمق وغد، أما إذا كان عدوك رجلاً شريفاً من بيت كريم فاخضع له، إذ أن خضوعك قد يلين قلبه. - Euripides

Rhesus. Thy way is mine, friend. Straight I run my race
In word and deed, and bear no double tongue.

He is life's liberating force.
He is release of limbs and communion through dance.
He is laughter, and music in flutes.
He is repose from all cares — he is sleep!
When his blood bursts from the grape
and flows across tables laid in his honor
to fuse with our blood,
he gently, gradually, wraps us in shadows
of ivy-cool sleep.

There liveth not in my life any more
The hope that others have. Nor will I tell
The lie to mine own heart, that aught is well
Or shall be well…. Yet, O, to dream were sweet!
