Hmmm

I have a dear and wise friend

Once she wrote this (an excerpt, hopefully she doesn't mind, italics are mine):

And though the slithering beast
can appear on such an Eve'
(to try and steal the moment
in his practice to deceive),
we'll ignore his petty voices
because I think it's understood
that while the moment's never perfect,
that doesn't mean it's never good.

See, told you she was wise.
