Death Time Flower

More From Robert Herrick

To the virgins, to make much of time gather ye rose-buds while ye may, old time is still a-flying; and this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying. the glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, the higher he’s a-getting, the sooner will his race be run, and nearer he is to setting. that age is best which is the first, when youth and blood are warmer; but being spent, the worse, and worst times still succeed the former. then be not coy, but use your time, and while you may, go marry; for having lost but once your prime, you may for ever tarry.

I love smiles. that is a fact. how to develop smiles? there are a variety of smiles. some smiles are sarcastic. some smiles are artificial-diplomatic smiles. these smiles do not produce satisfaction, but rather fear or suspicion. but a genuine smile gives us hope, freshness. if we want a genuine smile, then first we must produce the basis for a smile to come.
Sarcastic Giving Want
The rose is a rose, and was always a rose. but the theory now goes that the apple's a rose, and the pear is, and so's the plum, i suppose. the dear only knows what will next prove a rose. you, of course, are a rose - but were always a rose.

And now you ask in your heart, ‘how shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’ go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, but it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. for to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, and to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy. * people of orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.

A flower is not a flower. it is made only of non-flower elements - sunshine, clouds, time, space, earth, minerals, gardeners, and so on. a true flower contains the whole universe. if we return any one of these non-flower elements to its source, there will be no flower.

Every time mulder smiles, people say, 'god, it was great to see you smile. mulder never smiles.' i say, 'mulder smiles a whole lot. he smiles at least once a show.' people get these ideas in their heads and they're impossible to shake. but, to be honest with you, mulder is every bit as vulnerable and quirky as ally mcbeal. i think mulder has pretty good legs, too.

I think we should all hope for a russia that is successful, where its people are employed and the economy is growing and they are having good relationships with their neighbors.

Perhaps dirt is the necessary condition of beauty.... perhaps hygiene and art can never be bedfellows. no verdi, after all, without spitting into trumpets. no duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. and think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by michelangelo in the curls of moses' beard!
