Everywhere it is spring,
Everywhere are pastures,
And everywhere milkful udders are swelling,
And the lambkins are suckled
At the approach of my fair maiden;
But should she depart,
Both shepherd and herbage are withered there.

Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.

Let you not say of me when I am old,
In pretty worship of my withered hands
Forgetting who I am, and how the sands
Of such a life as mine run red and gold
