Note to Self

[greenstorm]

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself upon the past has power,
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

John Dryden
Translation of Horace, Odes, Book III, xxix

Wow. I had not encountered that piece of Kipling before, or if so it wasn't noteworthy. Wow.

I think that's pertinent to our 'good person/good character' discussion.
