Found Poem

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
— Jack London
This piece of prose looked like poetry to me so I laid it out in the format above. (I quoted this in my eulogy to my father and to Jim MacNeill)
