[comment by Havelock Ellis]

Good-bye sun
Your day is done.
Neon light

Alright

"People may be divided into two classes: the people who like to drink the dregs of their cup, and the people whose instinctive preference it is to leave the dregs. This is a distinction which cuts deep into the moral life. The people of the first class are usually counted the more interesting, and necessarily they are able to extract more out of life, more pain and possibly more pleasure, though one may question the quality of the extract.
