Could man be drunk for ever <br />With liquor, love, or fights, <br />Lief should I rouse at morning <br />And lief lie down of nights. <br /> <br />But men at whiles are sober <br />And think by fits and starts, <br />And if they think, they fasten <br />Their hands upon their hearts.<br /><br />Alfred Edward Housman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/could-man-be-drunk-forever/
