From: "David Bircumshaw" <[log in to unmask]>
> The older I get the more I appreciate Pope.
"Shut, shut the door, Dear Joan," harassed, I said,
"I'm well past sixty -- soon I shall be dead."
Byron (36 when the clock stopped)
"Do not ask for whom the glass is filled -- it's filled for all."
{Unless of course, like Donne, you turn it before the end of the sermon ...}
The other glass will fall for hours,
It will fall forever in a vacuum.
I wish I were a little glass ...
From the Gaeltacht.
