Favorite Quote:
These violent delights have violent ends<br /> And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,<br /> Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey<br /> Is loathsome in his own deliciousness<br /> And in the taste confounds the appetite.<br /> Therefore love moderately.

Stars are falling
In the dark.
He is calling,
The voice of a lark.

Rain is pattering
On the ground.
The world is spinning
Round and round.

He is good;
He is right.
This heart of wood
Is lit up bright.

Lightning strikes.
There's a thunder rumble.
In love we're falling.
Down we tumble.

Oh, my goodness. On the author's comments, that was definitely meant to be "during." I promise I can write. Gah. Hahah. :)
