When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

DP@WP ‘ You can not be serious?!’ John McEnro, Wimbledon, UK. 1981

Really? Didn’t we have a risk question yesterday?

Allow me to give this space to the amazing Christina Rossetti..  .

A Daughter of Eve

A  fool was I was to sleep at noon,
And wake when night is chilly
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
A fool to snap my lily.

My garden-plot I have not kept;
Faded and all-forsaken,
I weep as I have never wept:
Oh it was summer when I slept,
It’s winter now I waken.

Talk what you please of future spring
And sun-warm’d sweet to-morrow:—
Stripp’d bare of hope and everything,
No more to laugh, no more to sing,
I sit alone with sorrow.

By Christina Rossetti ( 1830~1894)
