Wild Nights—Wild Nights! Were I with thee Wild Nights…

“Wild Nights—Wild Nights! Were I with thee Wild Nights should be Our luxury! Futile—the winds— To a heart in port— Done with the compass— Done with the chart! Rowing in Eden— Ah, the sea! Might I but moor— Tonight— In thee!” quote by Emily Dickinson
