"In our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart and in our despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God." ~RFK quoting Aeschylus

My teacher put that quote upon the board and it immediately reminded me of this song. The metaphors seem to be similar and I'm still trying to work out the themes of both, but what do you guys think? Similar? (Or am I completely crazy?)
