Life is forever undermining us. Life is forever washing away our castles, reminding us that they were, after all, only sand and sea water.

Erica Jong (b. 1942) American writer, poet
Parachutes and Kisses (1984) ]]> https://wist.info/jong-erica/35378/feed/ 0 35378 https://wist.info/byron/16359/ https://wist.info/byron/16359/#respond Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:11:57 +0000 Dave http://wist.info/?p=16359 There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more.

George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788–1824) English poet
Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Canto 4, st. 178 (1818)
