Goodnight ~

"Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England" ~ Michael Caine, portraying a doctor at the St Cloud Orphanage in the late 90s film, Cider House Rules. So many sweet ways to say goodnight. I hope you go to sleep sweetly tonight.

Now, blessings light on him that first invented sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even. ~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605
