Night falls

Time for sleep. Anyone else out there who continually deprive themselves of much needed sleep? Live on caffeine?

I do hope so. To all of you, hi.

Anyways, to give this post some substance, I quote Lord Byron:

Part of 'Epitaph to a Dog'
Near this spot
Are deposited the Remains
Of one
Who possessed Beauty
Without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of Man
Without his Vices.

The Price, which would be unmeaning flattery
If inscribed over Human Ashes,
Is but a just tribute to the Memory of
“Boatswain,” a Dog
Who was born at Newfoundland,
May, 1803,
And died in Newstead Abbey,
Nov. 18, 1808.


Pax.
