A Poem A Day from the George Hail Library ~ Selected by Maria Horvath: Refusing at Fifty-Two to Write Sonnets

A Poem A Day from the George Hail Library ~ Selected by Maria Horvath: Refusing at Fifty-Two to Write Sonnets
Excerpt:
...
Humanity’s advances notwithstanding
In health-care, self-help, or new-age regimens —
What with his habits and family history,
The end he thought is nearer than you think.

The future, thereby bound to its contingencies,
The present moment opens like a gift:...Thomas Lynch
