O you who
hear
within these scattered verses
the sound of sighs with which I fed my heart
in my first errant youthful days when I
in part was not the man I am today.
Petrarch

We are continually dying; I while I am writing these words, you while you are reading them, others when they
hear
them or fail to
hear
them. I shall be dying when you read this, you die while I write, we both are dying, we all are dying, we are dying forever.
Petrarch
Quote of the day
War is not its own end, except in some catastrophic slide into absolute damnation. It's peace that's wanted. Some better peace than the one you started with.
