Quotes
- “Busy, curious, thirsty Fly, Gently drink, and drink as I; Freely welcome to my Cup, Could’st thou sip, and sip it up; Make the most of Life you may, Life is short and wears away. Just alike, both mine and thine, Hasten quick to their Decline; Thine’s a Summer, mine’s no more, Though repeated to threescore; Threescore Summers when they’re gone, Will appear as short as one.”
