Sing Anyhow

Peter Viereck died recently. Academics in the humanities knows him for being "conservative" which is not necessarily the same "conservative" of Washington DC. I don't care about labels. I just love these lines by Viereck:

Though life ails just a day faster than art allays
Though age rots out before it can learn to sing true
Sing anyhow. Continue.

I have had three friends die in this past week and now I know the true meaning of that poem. This is my one chance Inez. I am living it. I never want to die saying I wish I had. I want to say I am glad I did.
