"Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft names in many a musèd rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath;
Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To case upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad
In such an ecstasy!"

Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come."
— William Shakespeare (Julius Caesar)
