To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time<\/p>\n

We’ll see how tomorrow goes but for today you get another one from the rose garden. When I looked at this picture the first line of this poem just popped into my head so I thought, well, why not. We might say the same of autumn. It is going, going…and soon will be gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.

\n Old Time is still a-flying;<\/em>
\n And this same flower that smiles today<\/em>
\n Tomorrow will be dying.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n The higher he\u2019s a-getting,<\/em>
\n The sooner will his race be run,<\/em>
\n And nearer he\u2019s to setting.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n When youth and blood are warmer;<\/em>
\n But being spent, the worse, and worst<\/em>
\n Times still succeed the former.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n And while ye may, go marry;<\/em>
\n For having lost but once your prime,<\/em>
\n You may forever tarry.<\/em><\/p>\n
