Maybe such people realise too late that life isn't a rehearsal, or as the Swansea Bard put it rather better:<br /><br />"Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright<br />Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,<br />Rage, rage against the dying of the light."gloriamundihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476712899700515223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456857068476095225.post-30420516538330293152011-02-10T09:39:52.397+00:002011-02-10T09:39:52.397+00:00Sorry GM, I've just re-read your last paragrap...Sorry GM, I've just re-read your last paragraph and realise you said 'baldly' not 'badly'!!

It also reminded me of this quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes...<br /><br />"Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so?

Before they know it, time runs out".Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312328482392883614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456857068476095225.post-77991521284824816062011-02-10T07:25:51.453+00:002011-02-10T07:25:51.453+00:00Inspiriting thoughts for a Feb morning.
