Seize the Day

What? August already? It can't be!  The summer, like my life, is passing way too swiftly.


Vincent Van Gogh "Sower With Setting Sun", 1888
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be a-dying.

The glorious lamp of Heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run.
The nearer he's to setting.
          
                         - Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
