THE MOON MAIDEN’S SONG
Sleep ! Cast thy canopy
Over this sleeper’s brain,
Dim grow his memory,
When he wake again.
Love stays a summer night,
Till lights of morning come ;
Then takes her winged flight
Back to her starry home.
Sleep ! Yet thy days are mine ;
Love’s seal is over thee :
Far though my ways from thine,
Dim though thy memory.
Love stays a summer night,
Till lights of morning come ;
Then takes her winged flight
Back to her starry home.
Ernest Christopher Dowson

Just. Look at this old New Year's postcard.
Tumblr media
"1916 - I live in Kispest and am a lamplighter, which is why in the New Year, I wish you well. Maybe the old one wasn't that bad on you either, but hopefully this new one will bring something better still. I wish from all my heart, me, Igaz Mihály, who comes to your street to light lamps."
And of course the original is a poem. But. Just. Don't you love humanity.

An old friend that I have lost touch with sent this to me in a care package in like 1990. There was a message written in purple marker that took up the whole back of the card. The ink has now completely faded away. Nothing. It made me melancholy when I saw it today.
