A man who keeps a diary pays,
Due toll to many tedious days;
But life becomes eventful — then,
His busy hand forgets the pen.
Most books, indeed, are records less
Of fulness than of emptiness.

William Allingham (1824–1889) Irish poet, diarist
Diary (1864-03-24/28) [eds. Allingham and Radford (1907)]
