The moving hand writs after having writ it moves on . I think the next line says something about all the tears are gone. Someone said it to me many years ago as thet were leaving.I have said it over and over in my mind but i cant get all of it.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
-- Omar Khayyam
That's a great line! Took me 15 minutes to find it, but it was worth it!

Try Typing in The moving hand writes poem
Then click on The moving hand writes and then click number 1, I don't know if this is it but it sounds like it to me. Try it out.
