XL. "Into my heart an air that kills..."
by A. E. Housman (1859-1936) Into my heart an air that kills

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.

If it doesn't (and to me this one sounds pretty bad, like Spiro Agnew crossed with Robert Jordan), well that delete key is on your machine for a good reason."

-Stephen King, On Writing
