A bed but not sleepBooks but not knowledgeFood but not appetiteFinery but not beautyA house but not a homeMedicine but not healthLuxuries but not comfortPleasures but not happinessReligion but not salvation.Say not that this is yours and that is mine,Just say, this came to you and to me;So we may not regret the fading shine,Of all the glorious things which ceased to be.
