Here lies, extinguished in his prime,

a victim of modernity:

but yesterday he hadn't time---

and now he has eternity.

 

-Piet Hein, poet and
scientist (1905-1996)

Nearly the first thing I did this morning was read my A.W.A.D e-mail, which I read as much for the quotations as the vocabulary, and this is the first quote for quite a while that I've saved. Obviously it struck a chord for both of us! Thanks for posting it.
