A world beyond men

Lorenz

A British lord does not bow 

facing headwinds of sublime inevitability .

 He finishes his cuppa 

without thinking  about a day to remember.

And leaves saying  calmly : 

 '' I am just going  outside and maybe sometime ! ''

Just a matter of good manners by - 40.

  I am no longer suffering .

The end does not cause  pain .

 My feet are two pieces of wet coal .

My last vision will be that of the wild void .

 White ,so purely white ...

  Sorry !  I introduce me : 

My name is ...

 My name was :

Lawrence  0ates .

Captain Lawrence Oates .

Everyone must keep their place 

in the line to  eternity...

 Nobody loves me  really...

    aside from you mother .

I symbolize the caste of the high coldness.

No sentimentality at this moment .

thinking about the past is not relevant ...

Soon I'll be warm and cozy in my mansion .

What's life worth without extravagant dreams ?

There is a deadly silence in the tent .

At the point of no hope rages the blizzard ...

     We are .

     We were .

        Where will be ?        

A question that makes shakespeare  laugh ! 

All giants defeated by a pack of  wolves 

in a dog's soul ! 

 We have too become dogs dragging their cross ...

 I wanted escaping the monotony of the barracks.

Those disturbing smells of India and Africa .

  There will be no odors in my grave .

 I enter in a frozen legend ...

 I put on my boots .I won't take there off anymore.

As easter approaches The English countryside

blossoms again, covered with daffodils .

'' Thanks doc ,no morphine ! ''

Scott continues to write for a posterity consummed by scurvy !

Has Birdie flown away already ? 

 Guys ,I wont be here for the last supper 

don't wait for me to die ! 

  In a world beyond men ...

   (  Dedicated to  Lawrence Oates .Soldier and explorer )

            March 17.1880.

             March 17.1912 +
