burning the days
------
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light!

As for Emily Dickinson:
'I'd rather recollect a setting
Than own a rising sun
Though one is beautiful forgetting
And true the other one'
I've actually never read any Emily Dickinson, and got this quote out of a book on Jean-Luc Godard. Do you have a favourite Dickinson verse?
I feel kind of bashful asking this, but hey, maybe we should be Friends or something...
