And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again? Archilochus

Counterfeit Lives

 
A Counterfeit -- a Plated Person --
I would not be -- Whatever strata of Iniquity 
My Nature underlie -- 
Truth is good Health -- and Safety, and the Sky.
How meagre, what an Exile -- is a Lie,
And Vocal -- when we die --

- Emily Dickinson
