It's A Birthday Party All Around
The first four lines of Shakespeare's Sonnet No 64, by way of copperbadge:
When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced
The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;
When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed
And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;
. . . which serves to fill my head with images of a post-apocalyptic Victorian London, which in turn reminds me of b_zedan.
A glorious birthday to the one of you two that isn't dead. I hope that the violence was of a sufficient quantity.
