Thanks for your objectively focused question:
the answer to which is that I for one appreciate its sense of the brevity of human life.

Your thoughts, divegeester, would be quite welcome.

To be honest, I think it is worded in such a way that it presents the reader with a sense of the author's pompousness.

2 Corinthians 4:18 “ ... for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

JS, your own definitions of "temporal" and "eternal" within the context of this quotation by William S. Merwin would be helpful.

I think because it is cryptic. I can't find a purpose in the concept of performing affections with ceremony. The whole thing is lost on me. Why would I ceremoniously perform affections patiently because I know there's an end? What end? I'm confused! 😕 😉

Why can't you just drink beer like the rest of us. 😵

2 Corinthians. One is the other one's father but he is not the first one's son. 🙄

I thought the "Thank you" at the end was a nice touch.

Albeit optimistic.
