For some we loved, the loveliest and the best
That from His vintage rolling Time hath pressed,
Have drunk the Cup a round or two before,
And one by one crept silently to rest.
Such an interesting poem posted here.... Thanks for sharing...
This has been happening since the time immemorial. Each one of us has lived life as per his or her knowledge, understanding and duty consciousness. Life is also an inter-play of several elements driven by the pleasure principle. It goes on from birth to death. Thanks.
