''With no thought of tomorrow'' remember me those lines from 'Il trionfo di Bacco e Arianna', by Lorenzo de' Medici: ''..chi vuol esser lieto, sia: di doman non c'è certezza '' = there is no certainty in 'tomorrow', so be happy 'now' but then you say ''But tomorrow is upon you / Now how will you hide'' thus: if you want to be happy 'now', then you have to accept what you'll get later.. ;) thanks for sharing ciao
Thank you for your comments...........................tried to make it sound real..........running away
Brave utterances set aside for honest reflection. A work of an intricate mind.
