LVI



Sweet love, renew thy force; be it not said

Thy edge should blunter be than appetite,

Which but to-day by feeding is allay\'d,

To-morrow sharpened in his former might:

So, love, be thou, although to-day thou fill

Thy hungry eyes, even till they wink with fulness,

To-morrow see again, and do not kill

The spirit of love, with a perpetual dulness.

Let this sad interim like the ocean be

Which parts the shore, where two contracted new

Come daily to the banks, that when they see

Return of love, more blest may be the view;

  Or call it winter, which being full of care,

  Makes summer\'s welcome, thrice more wished, more rare.

 	--William Shakespeare

The beauty of life, is that you don\'t have to be modernly beautiful to live it.

- C.S. Lewis, In Beauty

The taxpayer - that\'s someone who works for the federal government but
doesn\'t have to take the civil service examination.
