rogue3542 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 For I have learned To look on nature, not as in the hour Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes 90 The still, sad music of humanity, Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power To chasten and subdue. -William Wordsworth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue3542 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Within the infant rind of this small flower Poison hath residence and medicine power. For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part; Being tasted, stays all senses with the heart. Two such opposèd kings encamp them still, In man as well as herbs—grace and rude will. And where the worser is predominant, Full soon the canker death eats up that plant. - William Shakespeare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogue3542 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 But Mousie, thou art no thy lane, In proving foresight may be vain: The best-laid schemes o' Mice an' Men Gang aft agley, An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain, For promis'd joy! Still thou are blest, compared wi' me! The present only toucheth thee: But Och! I backward cast my e'e, On prospects drear! An' forward, tho' I cannot see, I guess an' fear! - Robert Burns Also, if you ever wondered where Steinbeck got the name for his novel "Of Mice and Men," I think you've received your answer. P.S.

rogue3542 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun You run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking And racing around to come up behind you again And the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death - Roger Waters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue3542 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 The sun's shining down on these green fields of France; The warm wind blows gently, and the red poppies dance. The trenches have vanished long under the plow; No gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now. But here in this graveyard that's still No Man's Land The countless white crosses in mute witness stand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man. And a whole generation who were butchered and damned. - Eric Bogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue3542 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. - Percy Bysshe Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
