To Be or Not To Be

A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
~ Aristotle

Having mentioned my favourite poetry genre in the last post, I must share a few lines from the category that have always haunted me with their beauty. I wouldn’t be surprised if I have shared them earlier…

 

As lines, so loves oblique may well

Themselves in every angle greet;

But ours so truly parallel,

Though infinite, can never meet.

—Andrew Marvell, The Definition of Love
