Trying to burn the candle at both ends - it catches up with you eventually. by dora

Trying to burn the candle at both ends - it catches up with you eventually.

ahhh...my absolutely favourite poem by Christina Rosetti...called (oddly) First Fig...

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night...
But ah by foes...and oh, my friends
It gives a lovely light!

(That's totally my philosophy of life... Thanks for giving me a place to say it!)
