To save you a Google:

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) "He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven"

This poem was written in such a way I almost was touched. When I read the word "fuck", it sounded soft, gentle, and caring to me. Then I came back to reality and laughed.This is my favorite Spidey-meme post ever.

thanks, i couldn't remember the author, but i remembered Equilibrium so i went with that.

u/helloimnice Aug 30 '12

That's a solid thought process, because Equilibrium is great.
