...'But at my back I always hear
Times winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity'...
(from To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell)
Wonderful poem (you can read the full version
here), which is basically about a chap trying to persuade a woman to sleep with him using the shortness of life as an argument. And
here's a clip of Damian Lewis reading it (the last verse is missed out though - boo hiss).

I think the woman's response was,
"Roses are red, violets are blue;
Life's too short to waste sleeping with you."

LOL! Is that one by Christina Rosetti or Emily Bronte... can't quite remember :O)))
It's one by Laloofah, whose talents have been vastly overlooked which is probably why she continues to toil in obscurity. Life is so unfair! ;-)
Really like what you have done with this photo processing, and what a great quote this is.
