From "The Garden OF Proserpine."
We are not sure OF sorrow,
And JOY was never sure:
Today will die tomorrow,
Time troops to no mans lure;
And love grown faint and fretful
With lips but half regretful
Signs, and with eyes forgetful
Weeps that no loves endure.
From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free.
We thank with brief Thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives forever:
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.
Then star nor sun shall waken,
Nor any change of light:
Nor sounds of waters shaken,
Nor any sound or sight:
Nor wintry leaves nor vernal,
Nor days nor things diurnai,
Only the sleep eternal
In an eternal night.
Algernon Charles Swinburne.

in court on Monday morning, to which

on Thursday afternoon.
