Hither, thither, and yon: The way shown by the gods

The gods, when they descended, hither

From heav'n did always chuse their way;

And therefore we may boldly say,

That 'tis the way too thither.

-- Abraham Cowley

Nothing like to ours at all

Neither their sighs nor tears are true,

Those idly blow, these idly fall,

Nothing like to ours at all,

But sighs and tears have sexes too.

-- Abraham Cowley

Baby Boomer, 63, retires in Mazatlán on $1,000 a month, goes all-in for the life of mañana

She’s 63 and living by the beach in Mexico on $1,000 a month: ‘I can’t imagine living in the U.S. again’ :

“It’s a very different vibe here that’s kind of hard to explain. It’s not about being retired, because I wasn’t that until a year ago. It’s just a different understanding of what’s important in life, and a more relaxed live-and-let-live attitude. If something doesn’t get done today — there’s always tomorrow, or the next day. What’s the big deal?,” she explains. 

Tomorrow you will live, you always cry,
In what far country doth this morrow lie?
That 'tis so mighty long e'er it arrive:
Beyond the Indies does this morrow live?
'Tis so far-fetch'd this morrow, that I fear
'Twill be both very old, and very dear.
Tomorrow will I live, the fool does say,
Today itself's too late, the wise liv'd yesterday.

-- Abraham Cowley (1618-1667) 

The firmament is like a gigantic nest, in which lies the egg containing the yolk of the future

When fates among the stars do grow,

Thou into the close nests of time dost peep;

And there, with piercing eye,

Through the firm shell and the thick white dost spy

Years to come a-forming lie,

Close in their sacred fecundine asleep.

-- Abraham Cowley (1618-1667)

We say that learning's endless . . .

 

 

We say that learning's endless, and blame fate

For not allowing life a longer date,

He did the utmost bounds of knowledge find,

He found them not so large as was his mind.

-- Abraham Cowley (1618-1667)
