5. I though of you yesterday, RL

when I stumbled upon this poem:

On the Strength of All Conviction and the Stamina of Love

Sometimes I think
we could have gone on.
All of us. Trying. Forever.

But they didn't fill
the desert with pyramids.
They just built some. Some.

They're not still out there,
building them now. Everyone,
everywhere, gets up, and goes home.

Yet we must not
diabolize time. Right?
We must not curse the passage of time.

-- Jennifer Michael Hecht

I adore Yeats, though I wonder how different his work would have been without Maud Gonne.
