Is this a lasting treasure,
Or just a moment's pleasure

4. "What is a poet? An unhappy man who conceals profound anguish in his heart, but whose lips
are so fashioned that when sighs and groans pass over them they sound like beautiful music. His fate resembles that of the unhappy men who were slowly roasted by a gentle fire in the tyrant Phalaris' bull -- their shrieks could not reach his ear to terrify him, to him they sounded like sweet music. And people flock about the poet and say to him: do sing again; Which means, would that new sufferings tormented your soul, and: would that your lips stayed fashioned as before, for your cries would only terrify us, but your music is delightful."

Søren Kierkegaard
Either/Or

5. Oh, my. It's touching and
deeply profound.

A fitting epitaph for Amy - and sad.
