The Moving Finger Writes; and, Having Writ
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
— Omar Khayyam
Guess that’s about all of it…

Re: have you seen my webpage?
I got it from The Wondering Minstrels page. They’re my bestest and only source of verse.
