And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass.
- Ezra Pound
An admittedly dark poem to quote on ones birthday but here it is. If the rest of my life is as perfect as this poem I would not have lived in vain.
Pound is one of the few American poets i've read and I simply love his works. This particular poem struck a chord with me because it is so simple as to not need explanation and yet so flawless.
