Romance is not dead if you keep it just yours

Levitate above all the messes made

And not the kind that's thrown

I mean, the kind under where a tree has grown

When Odysseus said this to neoptolemus "But fame is a strange thing. Some men gain glory after they die, while others fade. What is admired in one generation is abhorred in another We cannot say who will survive the holocaust of memory. Who knows?" He smiles. "Perhaps one day even I will be famous. Perhaps more famous than you."

I felt as if I had become part of a badly written novel, that someone was taking me to task for being utterly unreal. And perhaps it was true.
