Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not the goal;

Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

Was not spoken of the soul.

…

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime

And, departing, leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time.

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “A Psalm of Life” (1838)

Among all of us we can get a complete memory.

“I Want to Die”

Frances, Betty and Don

from rural New Brunswick

log booms and pulp mills

mackerel and pickerel

hayfields and poverty

they made their way

to the city, the capital

“up the hill” to UNB

bobby socks and horn-rimmed glasses

shy, smart and loving words

met at a poetry club

the Bliss Carman Society
