If Time and Space, as sages say,
Are things which cannot be,
The sun which does not feel decay
No greater is then we.
So why, Love, should we ever pray
to live a century?
The butterfly that lives a day
Has lived eternity.

The flowers I gave thee when the dew
Was trembling on the vine,
Were withered ere the wild bee flew
To suck the eglentine.
So let us haste to pluck anew
Nor mourn to see them pine,
And though our days of love be few
Yet let them be divine.

If Space and Time, as sages say,
Are things which cannot be,
The fly that lives a single day
Has lived as long as we.
But let us live while yet we may,
While love and life are free,
For time is time, and runs away,
Though sages disagree.

T. S. Eliot

Thanks for the poem, tertiusgaudens... :flop:

Got to love Eliot!

To the poets that write of the observables things that brings to hearts and make them sing the words of joy are words of love that rise like a climbing dove, to hear them read and said out loud to make the maker very proud.

But alas, sometimes their song is sad the words they choose will make you mad, because they tell of an awful thing. The deeds done by sinful men are sometimes hard put down in pen.

So if their story is sad to tell then give them reason to break this tail, for they only write of the observable things we do and understand, this choice is ours to make, the peace is ours to break.

If we want to make our story good as we know and as we should, then lets be poets one and all, stand tall, stand tall, stand tall, sing out our story loud and proud and make evil-men become the cowed, for to long have we been under their shroud.

Sing out from your hearts with love and glee and tell the them to let us be their ways are old and wrong. It’s time for a new song, we’ll sing it with no fear and make them disappear… :wink:
