Nothing can ever happen
twice.
In consequence, the sorry fact is
that we arrive here improvised
and leave without the chance to
practice.
Even if there is no one dumber,
if you're the planet's biggest dunce,
you can't repeat the class in summer.
this course is only offered once.
No day copies yesterday,
no two nights will teach what bliss is
in precisely the same way,
with precisely the same kisses.
One day, perhaps some idle tongue
mentions your name by accident:
I feel as if a rose were flunginto
the room, all hue and scent.
The next day, though you're here
with me,
I can't help looking at the clock:
A rose? A rose? What could that be?
Is it a flower or a rock?
Why do we treat the fleeting day
with so much needless fear and
sorrow?
It's in its nature not to stay:
Today is always gone tomorrow.
With smiles and kisses, we prefer
to seek accord beneath our star,
although we're different (we concur)
just as two drops of water are.
@Wislawa Szymborska
Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled at the edge of a vast forest, lived a man named Oliver.
Oliver was known for his brave heart and insatiable curiosity. One sunny morning, as he sat by the old oak
tree in the village square, a map fluttered down from the sky and landed at his feet.
Curious, Oliver picked up the map and saw that it led to the heart of the mysterious forest that surrounded
the village. The map was marked with ancient symbols and strange drawings, hinting at hidden treasures and
untold secrets waiting to be discovered.
Excited by the prospect of adventure, Oliver decided to embark on a journey into the unknown. He packed some
supplies, bid farewell to the villagers, and set off into the dense forest, with the map clutched tightly in
his hand.
