Wise words of famous poet

Reading your columnist Mary Kenny’s wonderful collection of stories, observations, and anecdotes in her book ‘A Day at a Time’, I came across the following wise words from Welsh poet William Henry Davies: ‘What is this life, if full of care, We have no time to stop and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night... A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.’ Brian McDevitt Glenties, Co Donegal
