Sleep
May death come swift and sweetAnd take me in my sleep
Upon a bed I rest
The devil be my guest
The peace I seek I shall not find
The devil is inside my mind
He opens doors to all I see
And holds the pain in front of me
Sleep
May death come swift and sweetPoetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
