The Means to attain Happy Life
by Sir Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1516 – 1547)
My friend, the things that do attain
The happy life be these, I find:
The riches left, not got with pain;
The fruitful ground; the quiet mind;
The equal friend; no grudge; no strife;
No charge of rule, nor governance;
Without disease, the healthy life;
The household of continuance;
The mean diet, no dainty fare;
Wisdom joined with simpleness;
The night discharged of all care,
Where wine the wit may not oppress:
The faithful wife, without debate;
Such sleeps as may beguile the night;
Content thyself with thine estate,
Neither wish death, nor fear his might.

cum spunea cineva … a bad day at fishing is better then a good day at work …
Aha, asta e o poezie pe care s-o reciti in campania electorala. Exarhule, te-am vazut la emisiunea “APROPO” de la ProTV cum faceai critica fantanilor arteziene din Sectorul 2. N-am inteles insa faza cum ca ai vrea sa vezi fantana arteziana din lacul Plumbuita de jos in sus? E scris adanc…
Everyday the wild wind blows,
shattering our faith and vows,
every dreams we have comes true
when our sky turns into blue…
there’s no colour left to see ,
but i know that we won’t be
frightened,scared!
we’ll be aware of all that it was unfare
thousand of meanings, a look of yours,
are worthly feeling!also your spurs..
i value them highly,they made me despise
all thet is awful,the wrong and the lies.
i wish the sun will always shine its rays
on your beautiful days
i wish you health and all that you need
to make you feel in paradise indeed.
