But you are mobile as the veering air, And all your charms more changeful than the tide, Wherefore to be inconstant is no care: I have but to continue at your side. So wanton, light and false, my love, are you, I am most faithless when I most am true.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Edna St. Vincent Millay
[L]ife isn't one thing after another, it's the same thing over and over.
