The Mystery Quote

'It will last as long as it lasts.

Rose or rock.

A brief morning, or never-ending evening.'



I wrote the above in a notebook many years ago. Does anyone know where I found it? Did I write it myself? I don't think I did (though I do have a chequered past!). Try as I might, I've not been able to attribute it to anyone. Any help here would be greatly appreciated....

It's either you or James Joyce, and he's out of copyright now, so take it before some other bugger does.

Dear Time, you erudite rapscallion! Do you know, you are so right. Also, I may in fact have written it myself but it just seems too durn poetic for a prosaic wench like wot I am... I've got all these notebooks and hardly a single finished thing in there but I'm saving them for my old age...BTW, I only just now discovered how to reply to comments – gosh, yet another way to have fun and avoid doing any actual work. This here Interwebby doodah is a ferocious gobbler of time. There, that's it, I'm out of here for a while. Cheers and millions of good wishes. M
