Out of the infinite sea of eternity <br />To climb, and for an instant stand <br />Upon an island speck of time. <br />From the impassible peace of the darkness <br />To wake, and blink at the garish light <br />Through one short hour of fretfulness.<br /><br />James Weldon Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-1151/
