| Quote of the moment |
| When I consider life, 't is all a cheat. Yet fool'd with hope, men favour the deceit; Trust on, and think to-morrow will repay. To-morrow 's falser than the former day; Lies worse, and while it says we shall be blest With some new joys, cuts off what we possest. Strange cozenage! none would live past years again, Yet all hope pleasure in what yet remain; And from the dregs of life think to receive What the first sprightly running could not give. |

| Quote of the moment |
| No sleep. The sultriness pervades the air And binds the brain—a dense oppression, such As tawny tigers feel in matted shades, Vexing their blood and making apt for ravage. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. poet, novelist. The House-Top (l. 1–4). . . Selected Poems of Herman Melville. Hennig Cohen, ed. (1991) Fordham University Press. ~ |
