["My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at
thirty-one, so few years months hours or minutes remain that "Carpe Diem"
is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds - for who can
trust to tomorrow?"] Lord Byron
(1788-1824) - Byron died at age thirty-six. | The phrase Carpe Diem ("seize the day") was used by Horace in
his Odes, bk1, ode 11. |
{"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old
Time is still a-flying"
}To the
Virgins, to make Much of Time" ROBERT HERRICK
1591-1674
O me! O life! of the questions of these
recurring.....
The question, O me! so sad, recurring -- What good amid
these, O me, O life?
Answer That you are here--that life exists and
identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a
verse.
WALT WHITMAN -1819-1892

The Road Not
Taken
TWO roads diverged in a
yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one
traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I
could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the
other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better
claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for
that the passing there
Had worn them really about the
same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had
trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet
knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come
back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and
ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the
one less traveled by,
And that has made all the
difference.
Robert Frost
(1874–1963). |
