Zeus has led us on to know,
the Helmsman lays it down as law
that we must suffer, suffer into truth.
We cannot sleep, and drop by drop at the heart
the pain of pain remembered comes again,
and we resist, but ripeness comes as well.
From the gods enthroned on the awesome rowing-bench
there comes a violent love. - Aeschylus' Agamemnon
I hope
that when the world comes to an end
I can breathe a sigh of relief,
because there will be so much
to look forward to. -Donnie Darko
