About entropy
about the pleasure to be found in decay, the inevitable passage of the pretentious and the grandiose: the satisfaction that entropy brings, the yielding to the inevitable
the pleasure to be found in loss and failure
erosion and sand
fire and ashes
Think, in this batter'd Caravanserai
Whose Doorways are alternate Night and Day,
How Sultan after Sultan with his Pomp
Abode his Hour or two, and went his way.
Alike for those who for TO-DAY prepare,
And those that after a TO-MORROW stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries
"Fools! your Reward is neither Here nor There."
Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
Before we too into the Dust Descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust, to lie,
Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer and--sans End!
about dispersal
not about loss, regret, preservation, the futile attempt to preserve the past
not about history, the ridiculous notion that as the past recedes we might know it better
