ABOUT ME

i would rather
be ashes than dust!
i would rather
that my spark
should burn out
in a brilliant blaze,
than it should be
stifled by dry-rot.
i would rather be
a superb meteor,
every atom of me
in a magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and
permanent planet.
the function of man
is to live, not to exist.
i shall not waste my days
trying to prolong them.
i shall use my time.

- jack london
