Homer is my example and his unchristened heart.
The only enemy of innocence and beauty is time.
My wretched dragon is perplexed.
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core.
I Sing what was lost and dread what was won, / I walk in a battle fought over again.
Time can but make it easier to be wise / Though now it seems impossible, and so / All that you need is patience.
