His father gave him a box of truisms Shaped like a coffin, then his father died; The truisms remained on the mantelpiece.
Louis MacNeice Quotes
And the gods are absent and the men are still---Noli me tangere, my soul is forfeit. Some are now happy in the hive of home, Thigh over thigh and a light in the night nursery, And some are hungry under the starry dome And some sit turning handles.
