When I Was One-and-Twenty
by A. E. Housman
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
“Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.”
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
“The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.”
[A]nd I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.

Question:::… What mystery about faith in your own HP have you discovered, lately?
Featured Comment:::… “One mystery for me is that this is a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. I need trust in order to convince myself to turn things over to god, but in order to trust, I need proof that if I let go, whatever it is isn’t going to go to complete crap. And my life wasn’t great, but it wasn’t complete crap before either. So I’m learning to just let go of things I have no control over anyway. But the things I’m managing quite well I will continue to do so.” – Adam
