Nothing fee simple; all on lease, or loan!
So complain not, as if to strike away
From life ere extreme age, if then, a day
Were robbery. We have, all grant, no right
O’er the past; Nature, keeping this in sight,
Inquires what better title then have we
To stake out a claim in futurity.
Past—no beginning—future—no end—are one;
Neither heeds when Man comes; when he is gone;
And you—when time casts you out, why lament,
