ne·pen·the, n.: A mythological drug said by the ancient greeks to dull pain and sorrow.
"Let me quaff this kind nepenthe and forget the lost Lenore."
-Excerpt from "The Raven" by EAP

One day my epitaph will read:
I heed not that my earthly lot
Hath little of earth in it;
That years of love have been forgot
In the hatred of a minute.
I mourn not that the desolate
Are happier, sweet, than I.
But that you sorrow for my fate
Who am a passerby.
-Edgar Allan Poe-

"I don't know whether I'm a hopeless romantic, or just romantically hopeless."
