Rereading the poem I posted, it feels incomplete--probably a metaphor for a relationship that ended too quickly. Here's one of my favorite passages from T.S. Eliot The lot of man is ceaseless labour, Or ceaseles idleness, which is still harder. Or irregular labor , which is not pleasant. I have trodden the winepress alone, and I know That it is hard to be really useful, resigning The things that men count for happiness seeking The good deeds that lead to obscurity, accepting With equal face those that bring ignomy, The applause of all or the love of none All men are ready to invest their money But most expect dividends I say to you: Make perfect your will. I say: take no thought of the harvest, But only of proper sowing. T.S. Eliot Excerpt from choruses of The Rock
