ALEXANDER BROME English poet (1620 - 1666) A poem's life and death dependeth still   Not on the poet's wits, but reader's will.       - [Poets] What art thou, life, that we, must court thy stay?   A breath one single gasp must puff away!     A short-lived flower, that with the day must fade!       A fleeting vapor, and an empty shade!         A stream that silently but swiftly glides           To meet eternity's immeasured tides!             A being, lost alike by pain or joy?               A fly can kill it, or a worm destroy!                 Impair'd by labor, and by ease undone,                   Commenced in tears, and ended in a groan.       - [Life] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
