The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.
—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Awesome to see you're still posting! Used to read your blog back in 2010! Circled around 13+ years later. Made me happy!
As a passionate collector, I recently spent some time on Coveted, and I must say, it's a treasure trove for any luxury watch lover. I found the Rolex Pepsi to be an iconic piece, with its rich history and distinct design. Another standout was the Rolex James Cameron, which combines stunning aesthetics with durability—perfect for those who appreciate both style and functionality. The Omega Blue Side of the Moon truly captivated me, offering a striking blend of elegance and technology. I also couldn't help but admire the Rolex Sprite, which exudes a fresh, modern look while maintaining the legendary Rolex quality. This site is undoubtedly a must-visit for anyone looking to add a new timepiece to their collection!
