Golden Shovel

What is next to be? My best friend’s dream is not likely to embrace fruition without the spur’s first kick or vigorous prodding by his future self whom no one is familiar with or the old self poised alone to welcome the new self. Being is not doing, unless trying has been tried. Neither will errors be committed nor will hope prevail. The memory of failed love yet must be removed like the roots of a fallen tree. At last the belabored assessment is to extract and lay each section untangled in the sun and when the lessons become old he will become free to move and not step aside. Be not the first by whom the new is tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. Alexander Pope – An Essay on Criticism
