“There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
And those I kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.

For though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow,
When I kill, I do it slow... ”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

Illuminated by the moon,
Regrets her act, and finds appalling
The thought she will be dead so soon.”
