"I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then - whoosh, and I'm gone... and they'll never see anything like it ever again, and they won't be able to forget me - ever."
Jim Morrison

Irish Blood
If I had never heard the name
Of thy sorrow and strength divine,
Or felt in my pulses the flame
Of fire they had caught from thine,
I would know this rapture alone
Which sweeps through me now like a flood,
That the Irish skies were my own,
And my blood
Was the Irish blood. - Mary Blake
