It’s not time but we ourselves who pass,<br /><br />And soon beneath the silent tomb we lie:<br /><br /> <br /><br />And after death there’ll be no news, alas,<br /><br />Of these desires of which we are so full:<br /><br />So love me now, while you are beautiful.Roxanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650840495095863057noreply@blogger.com
