WHAT IS LIFE?
Lite’s a jingle, life’s a dance. See the mummers everywhere Hopping, tossing bells in air— How the hobby-horses prance ! I advance. Somewhat sick, the round to share. Life’s a yearning, life’s a keen Sense of moments and emotions, Art and song and tone devotions. Moods Intense and joy and teen ; I have been Through the whole of such like notions. Life’s a sad sepulchral song, < hanting of an unseen choir, Rising, falling, ever higher Striving up through clouds of wrong : Life’s a long De Profunefis from the mire.
Life's a jumble ami a maze Where we trip ami blunder ever, Halt performance, high endeavour, Panting strife and withered bays : Pass the days— Kest at last from fret ami fever.
Kenneth Grahame.
