PICTURE-SHOW
13 lines✦
np still they come and go: anc this is all 1 know—That from the gloom I watch an endless picture-show,Where wild or listless faces flicker on their way,With glad or grievous hearts I’ll never understand Because Time spins so fast, and they’ve no time tostayBeyond the moment’s gesture of a lifted hand. And still, between the shadow and the blinding flame,The brave despair of men flings onward, ever the sameAs in those doom-lit years that wait them, and have beem ia.And life is just the picture dancing on a screen. fost
