Amoret is gone astray--
----------------------------------------Pursue and seek her, ev'ry lover; I'll tell the signs by which you may The wand'ring Shepherdess discover. Coquette and coy at once her air, Both studied, tho' both seem neglected; Careless she is, with artful care, Affecting to seem unaffected. With skill her eyes dart ev'ry glance, Yet change so soon you'd ne'er suspect them, For she'd persuade they wound by chance, Tho' certain aim and art direct them. She likes herself, yet others hates For that which in herself she prizes; And, while she laughs at them, forgets She is the thing that she despises. POEMS BY WILLIAM CONGREVE  |

Re: Amoret
----------------------------------------Didn't really feel an emotional attachment by the poet though enjoyed the interesting balance presented between serious and satire. Here's another of his I just found... False though she be to me and love, I'll ne'er pursue revenge; For still the charmer I approve, Though I deplore her change. In hours of bliss we oft have met: They could not always last; And though the present I regret, I'm grateful for the past. |

Welcome yoro42
----------------------------------------Your Japanese proverb was as lovely as it's thought. Regretfully, snowflakes swiftly melt and thus result in temporary solace. "Begin doing what you want to do now. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand, and melting like a snowflake." What do you think? |

Regretfully, snowflakes swiftly melt and thus result in temporary solace. Not the temporary snowflake, a peaceful heart brings serenity |

Not the temporary snowflake, a peaceful heart brings serenity Indeed... May we all be so fortunate  While true joy secure in its quiet seeks no acknowledgement for its part content beyond any other requisite abides the perfect bliss of a peaceful heart |

Just lovely, there is much poetry in the skies!
----------------------------------------“And he beholds the moon; like a rounded fragment of ice filled with motionless light.” ― Gustave Flaubert btw...the other half is outside my window, Dave  Edit: The moon is mine when I seek it and only there for others when I'm not looking. ...You can quote me on that one  ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by bjbdbest at Dec 10, 2013 12:55:07 AM] |
