"Good-night! good-night! as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken up thy lamp and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I like these lines, and the picture. I'll have to pick Longfellow up again--it has been a while.
Very comforting - I remember this from school but I must admit not picking him up all that often...
