"The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils."
~ Lorenzo from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (V, i, 83-85)

Not The Pen
Tuesday, September 15, 2009‘Tis not the pen, but the words
That offer a child such wisdom;
‘Tis not the pen, but the thoughts
That give a man such solace.
‘Tis not the pen, but the actions
That help or hurt an ailing soul;
‘Tis not the pen, but the mind
That keeps fragments of those past.
For that is the very purpose
of our tongues and voices -
‘Tis ourselves, not our pens,
That write mankind’s history.
