#14 A Misanthrope's Villanelle
All of mankind can go to hell,
That evil, proud, rapacious race,
May I live to hear its funeral knell.
To hear the tolling of that bell
Would bring a smile to my glum face.
All of mankind can go to hell.
I want to be the one to tell
Of mankind's final fall from grace.
May I live to hear their funeral knell.
May they end up where demons dwell,
With no one there to plead their case.
All of mankind can go to hell.
It would suit me so very well
To see them gone without a trace.
May i live to hear their funeral knell.
Only their demise my rage will quell,
That mistake of God's, the earth's disgrace.
All of mankind can go to hell.
May I live to hear their funeral knell.
“According to most studies, people's number one
fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that
sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral,
you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”. Jerry Seinfeld
“Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is
because we are not the person involved” Mark Twain
“Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the
funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with
mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.” Plutarch quotes
