Contagious
Friday, May 7th, 2010Stars, I have seen them fall,
But when they drop and die
No star is lost at all
From all the star-sown sky.
The toil of all that be
Helps not the primal fault;
It rains into the sea
And still the sea is salt.
A.E. Housman, “Stars” from More Poems, 1936.
No, I’m not depressed or anything. I’ve just had this stuck in my head. And now it’s stuck in yours. You’re welcome.
