Gardening imparts an organic perspective on the passage of time.
Where thou art gone, adieus and farewells are a sound unknown.
Far happier are the dead methinks than they who look for death and fear it every day.
As if the world and they were hand and glove.
Admirals extolled for standing still, or doing nothing with a deal of skill.
Some write a narrative of wars and feats, Of heroes little known, and call the rant A history.
