From whiskey river:
And if there is not any such thing as a long time, nor the rest of your lives, nor from now on, but there is only now, why then now is the thing to praise and I am very happy with it.
(Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls)
Not from whiskey river:
If on earth there be
a Paradise of Bliss,
It is this,
It is this,
It is this.
(Firdausi)
This brings me to one of my favorite E.E. Cummings poems.
