“I'll read enough
When I do see the very book indeed
Where all my sins are writ, and that's myself.
Give me that glass and therein will I read.
No deeper wrinkles yet? Hath sorrow struck
So many blows upon this face of mine
And made no deeper wounds?
O flattering glass,
Like to my followers in prosperity
Thou dost beguile me!”
― William Shakespeare
nice post, the pix and words. i've expunged from memory most of the memory of my evil ways and sins. once in awhile my sons will tell me something i did and my reaction is "no way". but its true. maybe these will all come back to me before I go to the other side or maybe i'll keep only the memory of recent times and what i strive to be.
ReplyDeleteand i've always maintained - i don't want to know how others see me; just give me more delusion.
