"i dreamt that you were young again and i was as i am, / i laboured with every breath as you affixed me with your exam, / we sat and watched the sun come up and watched the tall grass sway, / before the breeze broke cold again and pulled your hand away, / and though your days have long since passed and mine are nearly through, / i hope that time repeats itself so i can be with you." (fr. reddit, source.)

"to see a world in a grain of sand / and a heaven in a wild flower, / hold infinity in the palm of your hand, / and eternity in an hour." (fr. auguries of innocence, william blake.)

"my fear is that in the depth of night, / the flowers will fall asleep and depart. / so i light the tall candles, / to eliminate their beauty." (fr. unknown, su shi.)
