This is TMI!
Oct. 13th, 2010 09:51 pmI feel like I've stepped in a timewarp or something.
( TMI! )
And in my mind all day was the poem (the last lines have a tendency to stick):
THE WATCH
Frances Cornford (1886-1960)
I wakened on my hot, hard bed,
Upon the pillow lay my head;
Beneath the pillow I could hear
My little watch was ticking clear.
I thought the throbbing of it went
Like my continual discontent;
I thought it said in every tick:
I am so sick, so sick, so sick;
O death, come quick, come quick, come quick,
Come quick, come quick, come quick, come quick.
