    important to her.

    to me as if to say "look, it's all have, but it's yours".

    ... is the way she finds wisdom beyond words.

• " the best friend a man has in the world many turn
  against him and become his worst enemy. His son or daughter that he has
  reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and
  dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name,
  may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may
  lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it the most. A man's
  reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The
  people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success
  is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure
  settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend
  that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts
  him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.
  Gentleman of the jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in
  poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground,
  where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may
  be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to
  offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with
  the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as
  if he were a prince. When all other friends desert he remains. When
  riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in
  his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune
  drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and
  homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of
  accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies
  and when the last scene of all come, and death takes the master in its
  embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all
  other friends pursue their way, there by his grave side will the noble
  dog be found. his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert
  watchfulness, faithful and true even to death."

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

- Dylan Thomas
