Life is but Life! And Death, but Death! Bliss is, but Bliss, and Breath but Breath!
And if indeed I fail,
At least, to know the worst, is sweet!
Defeat means nothing but Defeat,
No drearier, can befall!
~Emily Dickinson

Very good. Reminds me of Calderón de la Barca:
What is life? A frenzy.
What is life? An illusion,
A shadow, a fiction.
And the greatest good is small,
And all Life is a dream,
and dreams, dreams are…
(My translation from Spanish; there may be better english versions.)
Be good, Abbie Lu.

One of the most beautiful poems in Spanish. Actually it is universal. Toda la vida es sueño que los sueños, sueños son. And the music of the words in spanish is just fab. Glad you liked it.
