i've translated them from my language , so maybe u don't understand them well :
Oh,come with me , and leave the Wise
To talk one thing is certain , that life flies ;
One thing is certain and the rest is lies ;
The flower that once has blown for ever dies .
what about this :
I sent my soul through the Invisible ,
some letter of that after life to spell :
And by and by my soul return'd to me ,
And answer'd "I myself am Heav'n and hell."

I am taking an improv class at this improv club and I suck at it so much.
I usted to be pretty good at it, and I think it has to do with the fact that I am just now(in week 3 and that's b/c it was hard to let go of my ego since I don't know anyone funny and I keep thinking I will find someone funny to plays a game of wits with and after changing to an earlier class and finding out that the other class was more my age)applying what I remember and what I read in the suggested readings and maybe that as a group, we don't hang out as much. (the class is only on saturdays and we meet every sat before class for an hour)
when I took my old improv class, the people in it were people I had worked with in dept plays, in class and behind the scenes and was more familiar with their rhythms,etc.
The majority of the class is over 30 and I don't think that is too much a factor since I worked with someone in my old class who was around the same age and did ok.
any ideas on how to get better?
