incipe!

“Half my advertising is wasted but I do not know which half.”

“The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted
My piece of one sweet love”
"One Sweet Love"
Lyrics, Careful Confessions (2004)
Poems and Ballads (1866-89), The Triumph of Time
Context: p>We had stood as the sure stars stand, and moved
As the moon moves, loving the world; and seen
Grief collapse as a thing disproved,
Death consume as a thing unclean.
Twain halves of a perfect heart, made fast
Soul to soul while the years fell past;
Had you loved me once, as you have not loved;
Had the chance been with us that has not been.I have put my days and dreams out of mind,
Days that are over, dreams that are done.
Though we seek life through, we shall surely find
There is none of them clear to us now, not one.</p
