    W.H. Davies
    “What is this life if, full of care,
    We have no time to stand and stare.

    No time to stand beneath the boughs
    And stare as long as sheep or cows.

    No time to see, when woods we pass,
    Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

    No time to see, in broad daylight,
    Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

    No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
    And watch her feet, how they can dance.

    No time to wait till her mouth can
    Enrich that smile her eyes began.

    A poor life this if, full of care,
    We have no time to stand and stare.

    - Leisure”

    Alberto Caeiro
    “If I knew I was going to die tomorrow,
    And Spring came the day after tomorrow,
    I would die peacefully, because it came the day after tomorrow.
    If that’s its time, when else should it come?
    I like it that everything is real and everything is right;
    And I like that it would be like this even if I didn’t like it.
    And so, if I die now, I die peacefully
    Because everything is real and everything is right.”
    ― Alberto Caeiro, The Collected Poems of Alberto Caeiro
