Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

If you are one of earth’s inhabitants, how blest your father, and your gentle mother, blest all your kin. I know what happiness must send the warm tears to their eyes, each time they see their wondrous child go to the dancing!
