Old age, believe me, is 
a good and pleasant thing. 
It is true you are gently 
shouldered off the stage, 
but then you are given 
such a comfortable front stall 
as spectator. 
   Confucius
but evil mind 
Persuades the mob, 
great woes befall the state.
Euripides, Orestes
They were all dressed 
in their finest 
as though life really were 
some magical stage play 
in which every moment 
ought to be illuminated 
with its own bright spotlight.
 Anna Godbersen
The world is a stage,
 but the play 
is badly cast. 
Oscar Wilde
Beneath the moon’s
Soft silver gleam,
The world dissolves
Into a dream.
Petals close
Stars take flight,
Healing pervades
This quiet night.
A breath, a sigh
In stillness deep,
My soul surrenders
Gladly to sleep.
Where rivers glow
My memories play,
With dreams of tomorrow
As I drift away.
