(Poem #1240) The Night has a Thousand Eyes The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one:
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

This poem beautifully expresses the psyche of someone who could go into a decline and die of unrequited love. Although I am not one of those, it is only thanks to exposure to such poems that I have developed a measure of tolerance for people with more sensibility (a la Jane Austen) than I.
