Three examples:
Eros Turannos
Meanwhile, we do no harm, for they
that with a god have striven,
Not hearing much of what we say,
take what the god has given;
Though like waves breaking it may be,
Or like a changed familiar tree,
Or like a stairway to the sea
where down the blind are driven.
Richard Cory
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
Miniver Cheevy
Miniver Cheevy, born too late,
Scratched his head and kept on thinking;
Miniver coughed, and called it fate,
And kept on drinking.

stellar. my favorite ending of anything has alway been 'the stranger'. but that's me.
Yeah, I love Billy Joel, too!
Though you drown in good intentions,
You will never quench the fire.
You'll give in to your desire
When the stranger comes along.
Don't go changing! To try and please me,
You never let me down before.
Don't imagine you're too familiar...
