We, in the ages lying in the buried past of the earth, built nineveh with our sighing, and babel itself with our mirth; and o'erthrew them with prophesying to the old of the new world's worth; for each age is a dream that is dying, or one that is coming to birth.

More From Arthur O'Shaughnessy

The farther we get from god, the more the world spirals out of control. my heart aches for america and its deceived people. the wonderful news is that our lord is a god of mercy, and he responds to repentance. in jonah's day, nineveh was the lone world superpower-wealthy, unconcerned, and self-centered. when the prophet jonah finally traveled to nineveh and proclaimed god's warning, people heard and repented. i believe the same thing can happen once again, this time in our nation. it's something i long for.

What is a country? a country is a piece of land surrounded on all sides by boundaries, usually unnatural. englishmen are dying for england, americans are dying for america, germans are dying for germany, russians are dying for russia. there are now fifty or sixty countries fighting in this war. surely so many countries can't all be worth dying for.

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

When the blackberries hang swollen in the woods, in the brambles nobody owns, i spend all day among the high branches, reaching my ripped arms, thinking of nothing, cramming the black honey of summer into my mouth; all day my body accepts what it is. in the dark creeks that run by there is this thick paw of my life darting among the black bells, the leaves; there is this happy tongue.
