Werther

In the evenings I resolve to enjoy the next day's sunrise,
but I cannot quit my bed; during the daytime I look forward
to the delights of moonlight, and then I stay in my room.
I do not quite know why I rise or why I go to bed. 
  
-The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe (English translation by Michael Hulse)
