And the days are not full enough
And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass.
Commentary
One of those poems which seems utterly perfect in its simplicity… not a word wasted, not a word out of place. Any further commentary on my part would be jarring, so…
— Thomas
“A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exup$B(Bry
