Boiling Water

    Most people hew the battlements of life from compromise, erecting their impregnable keeps from judicious submissions, fabricating their philosophical drawbacks from emotional retractions and scalding marauders in the boiling oil of sour grapes.

    I pray thee, cease thy counsel,
    Which falls into mine ears as profitless
    As water in a sieve.
