Yonder see the morning blink:
The sun is up, and up must I,
To wash and dress and eat and drink
And look at things and talk and think
And work, and God knows why.
Oh often have I washed and dressed
And what's to show for all my pain?
Let me lie abed and rest:
Ten thousand times I've done my best
And all's to do again.
AE Housman. 'Last Poems'
We all need a break, sometimes. Even greedy investment bankers.
I'll be back on 6 Jan 2009. Happy Christmas!
