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.

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! 😕 😉

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.
