A poem by A.E. Houseman

Posted on February 12, 2010

I don't know its name if it has one, but its good;

Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:

What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

A.E. Houseman

A little wisdom.

Confucius once said:

If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant;
if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains
undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if
justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion.
Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above
everything.
