If suddenly you are not living,

if you die.

I shall go on living.”

Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.”

Context: Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all: —
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

Canto I, stanza 21. The Lady of the Lake http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/3011 (1810) Context: On his bold visage middle age Had slightly pressed its signet sage, Yet had not quenched the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth; Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare, The sparkling glance, soon blown to fire, Of hasty love or headlong ire.
