Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying

Robert Herrick

Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May [1909] John William Waterhouse

William George Gillies [1898–1973]

Portrait of the artist Robert Scott Irvine [1925]

For our own past is covered by the currents of action,
But the torment of others remains an experience
Unqualified, unworn by subsequent attrition.
People change, and smile: but the agony abides.

T.S. Eliot

"Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them. There is almost no kind of outrage-torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians-which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by 'our' side"

"Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe."

Edmund Burke

"So many things which were better in the past have been abandoned for supposed convenience."

Metropolitan [1990] by Whit Stillman

"It is not that anyone imagines the law to be just. Everyone knows that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. But no one accepts the implications of this, everyone takes it for granted that the law will be respected, and feels a sense of outrage when it is not."

Ronald Searle [1920–2011]

T.S. Eliot: Heroes of Our Time [1956]

So my local reopened last week with a new landlord, called in last night with the dog [as always] only to be informed that @samsmithsbeer have introduced a 'no dogs allowed' policy. As I always take the dog, I'm afraid we wont be going back. Very disappointing
