Allingham Paraphrased

William Allingham (1824-1889), Writing:

A man who keeps a diary, pays
Due toll to many tedious days;
But life becomes eventful -- then
His busy hand forgets the pen.
Most books, indeed, are records less
Of fulness than of emptiness.

Paraphrase:

A man who keeps a weblog, pays
Due toll to many tedious days;
But life becomes eventful -- then
His busy hand forgets the pen.
Most blogs, indeed, are records less
Of fulness than of emptiness.
