“Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

Is to be civilized, stay up and read
Or sing and dance all night and see sunrise
By waiting up instead of getting up.”
