Of universal truth…

Filed under: Musings, Road Ahead — eroux @ 15:41
The station is ominous at Midnight,
Hope is a dead letter.
Time to change tracks
For something better.

No local train now,
long since departed.
No way of getting back
to where you started.

I read these lines so many years ago, that I can’t even remember which book I got it from. And yet they have stayed with me all these years and they continue to influence me till this day.

I finally figured why. Even as a callow youth I recognised an universal truth when I read it.

“Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them, but not for love.”
  – As You Like It, Rosalind, Act IV scene I

Cynical, maybe; but true none the less I suppose. Bullets work better.
