    speak softly
    she loves in the cool shadows
    that encompass the soul; lingering
    about in an ethereal realm
    of knowing. it is but a moment's
    peace in the timeline of life-

    she vanishes like a wisp of smoke
    that cannot be held.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
