Wise Counsel from Marcus Aurelius ~ by TPO 

 Marcus Aurelius writes: *

    At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

[To the mind’s natural protestation that staying under the blankets simply feels nicer, Aurelius retorts:]

    So you were born to feel “nice”? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?

Le cheval ~ Louise de Vilmorin

 

 

Le cheval (1954)
~ Louise de Vilmorin ~
===================
J’aime porter de longs cheveux
Comme une femme,
J’aime porter un amoureux
Près de sa dame,
J’aime porter le poids fatal
Des inconnus,
J’aime porter le long du val
Les bienvenues.
J’aime la poudre du chemin
Sur mon visage,
J’aime le conseil de la main
Qui m’encourage.
Je fuis mon ombre de cheval
Courant la plaine,
Je crains mon reflet animal
Dans la fontaine.

Once - by Ambrose Harte

 

Once - by Ambrose Harte 

I used to dance,
but the music's gone,
I once had love,
but I'm now alone.
I used to sing,
but I lost my song,
I used to rhyme,
now the timings wrong.
I used to work,
but they shut us down,
I love the country,
but I live in town.
I used to smile,
now I cry instead,
I once had feasts,
now I've only bread.
I once had children,
but now they've grown,
I used to laugh,
but now I moan.
I once was clever,
but I lost my head,
I used to sleep,
now I've got no bed.
I used to swim,
but the sea's dried up,
I once drank water,
now there's ne'er a drop.
I once was good,
but now I'm bad,
I had a soul,
now I'm empty and sad.
I once was fearless,
now I'm filled with dread,
I used to live,
but now I'm dead.
I had directions,
but now I'm lost,
I had a body,
now I'm just a ghost.
