I've been reading Pessoa lately, and these posts remind me of him... sorta... ok not really

And speaking of no sleep...

Symphony of a Restless Night

"Everything was sleeping as if the universe were a mistake. The wind, blowing uncertainly, was a formless flag unfurled over a non-existent army post. High strong gusts ripped through nothing at all, and the window-frames shook their panes to make the edges rattle. Underlying everything, the hushed night was the tomb of God (and my soul felt sorry for God).

"Suddenly a new order of universal things acted on the city, the wind whistled in its lulls, and there was a slumbering awareness of countless agitations on high. Then the night closed like a trapdoor, and a vast calm made me wish I'd been sleeping."

-Passage 32
