They'll give me plenty of wisdom.

And I'm not going to say it was unjustified.

• What art thou, life, that we, must court thy stay?
  A breath one single gasp must puff away!
  A short-lived flower, that with the day must fade!
  A fleeting vapor, and an empty shade!
  A stream that silently but swiftly glides
  To meet eternity's immeasured tides!
  A being, lost alike by pain or joy?
  A fly can kill it, or a worm destroy!
  Impair'd by labor, and by ease undone,
  Commenced in tears, and ended in a groan.

  Alexander Brome
