“When death comes and whispers to me
'Thy days are ended.'

and not in mere time.'
He will ask 'Will thy songs remain?'
I shall say 'I know not, but this I know
that often when I sang I found my eternity.”

Your fate is the fruit of your own doing.
You have no one to blame but yourself.”
― The Power of Myth
