Running Iron Tears

More From Andrew Marvell

Now therefore, while the youthful hue sits on thy skin like morning dew, and while thy willing soul transpires at every pore with instant fires now let us sport us while we may, and now, like amorous birds of prey, rather at once our time devour than languish in his slow-chapped power. let us roll our strength and all our sweetness up into one ball and tear our pleasures with rough strife through the iron gates of life: thus, while we cannot make our sun stand still, yet we will make him run.
Sports Running Morning
When the sun shouts and people abound one thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze and the iron age; iron the unstable metal; steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, then nothing will remain of the iron age and all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass in the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.
Mother Rain Thinking
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
If you have a golf-ball-sized consciousness, when you read a book, you'll have a golf-ball-sized understanding; when you look out a window, a golf-ball-sized awareness, when you wake up in the morning, a golf-ball-sized wakefulness; and as you go about your day, a golf-ball-sized inner happiness. but if you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read about that book, you'll have more understanding; when you look out, more awareness; when you wake up, more wakefulness; as you go about your day, more inner happiness.

Even still, we run. we have not reached our average of 57.92 years without knowing that you run through it, and it hurts and you run through it some more, and if it hurts worse, you run through it even more, and when you finish, you will have broken through. in the end, when you are done, and stretching, and your heartbeat slows, and your sweat dries, if you've run through the hard part, you will remember no pain.

Running Government
The internet doesn't change everything. it doesn't change supply and demand. it doesn't magically allow you to build businesses by turning investors' money into operating expenses indefinitely. the money always runs out eventually.. the internet doesn't change that, as we have seen.
