"I am: yet what I am none cares or knows,
My friends forsake me like a memory lost;
I am the self-consumer of my woes,
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost;
And yet I am, and live with shadows tost."

"Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,

But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems;
And e'en the dearest--that I love the best--
Are strange--nay, rather stranger than the rest."
— John Clare
