INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

[caprinus]

Three Proverbs of Negation

Absence makes a heart grow fonder,
Like a kissblown ember smoulder.
       Absence is misery's--cordial.

Distance makes a heart grow bolder,
Like an unwatched pot boil over.
       Distance makes a tame heart thunder.

Silence makes a heart go under,
Like a ship on shallows founder.
       Silence makes a cool heart colder.

Time will will his heart grow smaller,
Like an old man shrinking taller.
       Time had had her heart ammortalled.
