    Strew your gladness on earth’s bed,
    So be merry, so be dead.
    —Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895–1915)

    We are born with luck
    which is to say with gold in our mouth.
    As new and smooth as a grape,
    as pure as a pond in Alaska,
    as good as the stem of a green bean
    we are born and that ought to be enough....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
