Two Men Looking Out Through The Same Bars.



(Someone told me today "You just don't see it, do you?" And I wonder if it is me or him who didn't see.)


Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one the stars.

- Rev. Frederick Langbridge


I look through the bars: And sees freedom on the other side.

We see things not as they are but as we are.

The Hand That Gives Flowers.




A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.

- Chinese Proverb


And it is sweeter than that bouquet of flowers.

- Ghostwise

~~~~~~~~~~"

Stretching his hand out to catch the stars, he forgets the flowers at his feet.

-Jeremy Bentham


Yet every night he stretched in vain to catch the stars,
While the waiting flowers withered and died at his feet.

- Ghostwise
