the poem Oh Life! speaks of our constant futile strive to get life.
Too far away is the land of peace
My laughter can't be true
My pending heart and staggering breath
Won't make it I always knew
My dimming eyes weep on and on
What else good they can do
My witty lips but smile still
To keep the tomb of grief askew
Oh life! How long did I pursue
The end of me the start of you
