"We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, "Oh, nothing!" Pride helps; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our hurts— not to hurt others."

George Eliot, Middlemarch

Options And Choices

What do birds sing of

If not the arrangement of day

Each a new and gifted legacy

To do what with and leave behind

In yesterday.

When all is stated, narrated, said;

Still, there is no conclusion;

Only options and choices,

To act out and deem the day

Lived
