"Sleepless, I dream of the day
When you were by my side
Guiding my path
Father, I can't find the way
You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere
I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare."
--Julie Taymour, /Endless Night/, from THE LION KING (Broadway version)
(Simba).

"Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker.
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger now that I'm alone."
--/Papa, Can You Hear Me/ (performed by Barbara Streisand).

"The truth is, I shall not leave you
Though it may get harder for you to see me."
--Tim Rice, /Don't Cry for Me, Argentina (Reprise)/, from EVITA (Evita).

"A man died. He seemed a good man. I did not know him. But Don Quixote
is not dead. Believe, Sancho."
--Dale Wasserman, MAN OF LA MANCHA (Aldonza/Dulcinea, on the death of
the country squire who called himself Don Quixote).

Numberless are the world's wonders, but none
More wonderful than man; the storm-grey sea
Yields to his prows, the huge crests bear him high;
Earth, holy and inexhaustible, is graven
With shining furrows where his plows have gone
Year after year, the timeless labor of stallions.

The lightboned birds and beasts that cling to cover,
The lithe fish lighting their reaches of dim water,
All are taken, tamed in the net of his mind;
The lion on the hill, the wild horse windy-maned,
Resign to him; and his blunt yoke has broken
The sultry shoulders of the mountain bull.

Words also, and thought as rapid as air,
He fashions to his good use; statecraft is his,
And his the skill that deflects the arrows of snow,
The spears of winter rain: from every wind
He has made himself secure - from all but one:
in the late wind of death he cannot stand.

--Sophocles, /Antigone/
