In a far tower of ivory
Where, O young men, late in the night
All you who drink light and stroke the air
Come back, seeking the night, and cry
To strict Rapunzel to let down her hair.”

“I have in my head a whole army of people pleading to be let out and awaiting my commands.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
