that's one of my favourite poems. my friend sara has a wall hanging with:
'Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass'
I used to read it over and over, tooabraxas00February 28 2007, 03:29:56 UTC
my favourite stanzas are...
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
and
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

Neither be cynical about love;
