RAMBLING ROSE

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

Edna St Vincent Millay

“They don’t think they’re too tough or desperate,
They know that the law always wins;
      They’ve been shot at before,
      But they do not ignore
That death is the wages of sin.”

Bonnie Parker, ‘The Story of Bonnie and Clyde’
