Time's the Master Critic, <br />Only he can say <br />What, among these verses, <br />Good and bad and worse is -- <br />What will live for aye. <br /> <br />This which I consider <br />Good, as verses go, <br />Time might care no whit for, <br />Not a little bit for. <br />How is one to know? <br /> <br />This which I might pass up <br />As of little worth, <br />Time might choose and cherish <br />Till the nations perish <br />From the face of Earth. <br /> <br />Since in every case, then, <br />I should be in doubt, <br />Why should I assay them? <br />Why attempt to weigh them? <br />Time will sort em out.<br /><br />Bert Leston Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-116/
