RuthArnold: And with it a poem by the lusty Robert Herrick trying to persuade his beloved they will be old/dead soon so…
“So when or you or I are made
A fable, song, or fleeting shade…
while time serves, and we are but decaying;
Come, my Corinna, come, let's goe a Maying.”
CiteSeer: "The person lives twice who lives the first life well."

ellynpeirson: Sometimes an old poem comes back to haunt me - usually with some truth I missed:
Fall on me like the silent dew,
Or like those maiden showers
Which, by the peep of day, do strew
A baptism o'er the flowers.
Robert Herrick
MelanieJaxn: Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;

ProfShakespeare: Upon Julia's Clothes, Robert Herrick - 1591-1674
Whenas in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows
The liquefaction of her clothes!
Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
—O how that glittering taketh me!

Of him bewitched, then forthwith make
A little wafer, or a cake
And this rawly baked will bring

Charles54911288: Tumble me down & I will sit
Upon my ruins smiling yet;
Tear me to tatters, yet I'll be
Patient in my necessity.

Me as a feared infection;
Yet scarecrow-like I'll walk, as one
Neglecting thy derision

April2832: But thy bond slave is my heart:
'Tis but silk that bindeth thee,
Knap the thread and thou art free;
But 'tis otherwise with me:
– I am bound and fast bound, so
That from thee I cannot go;
If I could, I would not so.

Sifill_LDF: So here we go w/the ahistorical notion that contentious SCOTUS confirmation hearings began w Robert Bork.Contentious SCOTUS hearings began consistently in 1955. What’s so magical about 1955? Brown I had been decided but not Brown II & segregationists hoped Brown could be stemmed.

baileygrocer: Random note/query:
long before 'Buggins' turn' literature seems to have been down on the name Buggins. As early as the 17thc, Robert Herrick's 'Upon Buggins' tells us that 'Buggins is Drunke all night, all day he sleepes;/This is the Levell-coyle that Buggins keeps’.
