Love this:
Vladimir Nabokov
"Speak, Memory" Chapter One
The cradle rocks above an abyss,
And common sense tells us that our
existence is but a brief crack of light
between two eternities of darkness.
Although the two are identical twins,
man, as a rule views the prenatal abyss
with more calm than the one he is
heading for (at some forty-five hundred
heartbeats an hour).
