> The dream of seriousness dissolved,
>             we are all created
>                         and die
>                                     in the same instant.

> When we cry together
>             we are whole,
> laughing together
>             we are one. . .

>                         and
>                         pricking the sky
>                                                 the stars frolic
>                                                             with the night lover.
