I Wish I Had A Quiet Tomb

by Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

"I wish I had a quiet tomb,
Beside a little rill;
Where birds, and bees, and butterflies,
Would sing upon the hill."

    Symptom Recital
    by Dorothy Parker
    I do not like my state of mind; I'm bitter, querulous, unkind. I hate my legs, I hate my hands, I do not yearn for lovelier lands. I dread the dawn's recurrent light; I hate to go to bed at night.
