And why not death, rather than living torment?
To die is to be banish'd from myself;
And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her,
Is self from self: a deadly banishment!
What light is light, if Silvia be not seen?
What joy is joy, if Silvia be not by?
Unless it be to think that she is by,
And feed upon the shadow of perfection.
Except I be by Silvia in the night,
There is no music in the nightingale;
Unless I look on Silvia in the day,
There is no day for me to look upon;
She is my essence; and I leave to be,
If I be not by her fair influence
Foster'd, illumined, cherish'd, kept alive.
I fly not death, to fly his deadly doom:
Tarry I here, I but attend on death;
But, fly I hence, I fly away from life

    -But I wouldn't like a photo.
    -And why is that?
    -Because a photo ages, and it also ages my memory of you. But the name doesn't. The name remains. It will always remain incontaminated [...]
    -I don't care for death.
    -That's only because you don't live. You protect yourself and that's it, you and your masks. Our parents gave us life and we must earn death... And you can only do so if you don't farther it from your thoughts and conversation. Only that way it doesn't win.
