And have you ears for sense?

And down will come the sky,
And earth's foundations will depart
And all you folk will die.”
― A.E. Housman, More Poems

“Allow a friend to believe in a bogus prospectus or a false promise and you cease, after a short while, to be a friend at all. How dare you intervene? As well ask, How dare you not?”
