We might have coupled In the bed-ridden monopoly of a moment Or broken flesh with one another At the profane communion table Where wine is spill'd on promiscuous lips We might have given birth to a butterfly With the daily-news Printed in blood on its wings

About This Quote

Life can be like a butterfly and it can pass into oblivion. We might have coupled, giving birth to a butterfly with the daily news printed on its wings. The world we live in is full of uncertainty and we only see the world through our own eyes. There is no way to truly know what is going on around us or what it could be like, but we must keep moving forward and leave the past behind.
