A coat of quotes and passing poetry
"
He who bends to himself a joy,
Does the winged life destroy ; But he who kisses the joy as it flies.
Lives in eternity's sunrise.
If you trap the moment before it's ripe, The tears of repentance you'll certainly wipe ;
But, if once you let the ripe moment go.
You can never wipe off the tears of woe.
"Winged Life | The poetry of Horace
