One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
‘Vain man,’ said she, ‘that dost in vain assay,
A mortal thing so to immortalize;
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eke my name be wiped out likewise.’
Edmund Spenser’s Amoretti LXXV
“Write my name on a ship, and set sail on the sea. If only in sand, she will erase your memory of me.” -yunara
