• Lies About Love We are all liars, because The truth of yesterday becomes a lie tomorrow, Whereas letters are fixed, and we live by the letter of truth. The love I feel for my friend, this year, is different from the love I felt last year. If it were not so, it would be a lie. Yet we reiterate love! love! love! as if it were a coin with fixed value instead of a flower that dies, and opens a different bud.

  roses of England
  wild roses of England
  men who are wild roses of England
  with metal thorns, beware!
  but still more brave and still more rare
  the courage of rosiness in a cabbage world
  fragrance of roses in a stale stink of lies
  rose-leaves to bewilder the clever fools
  and rose-briars to strangle the machine.
