The most sensible Potter Quotation...

Turning in despair to ancient literature for inspiration:
Omar Khayyam the great Persian poet understands best our predicament:

AS, under cover of departing day,
Slunk hunger-stricken to Dortmund away,
Once more within the Potter’s house alone
I stood, surrounded by the shapes of clay.

Shapes of all sorts and sizes, great and small,
That stood along the floor and by the wall;
And some loquacious vessels were, and some
Listened, perhaps, but never talked at all.

Said one among them: “Surely not in vain
My substance of the common earth was ta’en,
And to this figure molded to be broke,
Or trampled back to shapeless earth again!"

Then said a second: “Ne’er a peevish boy
Would break the bowl from which he drank in joy;
And He that with His hand the vessel made,
Will surely not in after-wrath destroy."

After a momentary silence spake
Some vessel of a more ungainly make:
“They sneer at me for leaning all awry;
What! did the hand, then, of the Potter shake?"

Whereat some one of the loquacious lot—
I think a hapless pundit—waking hot:
“All this of Pot and Potter! Tell me, then,
Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot?"

“Why," said another fan, “some there are who tell
Of One who threatens he will toss to hell
The luckless Pots he marr’d in making! Pish!
He’s a good fellow, and ’twill all be well!"

And all 'twill be well 'een so we shall by Potter's hand
we be condemned to the lower leagues of of the EPL!
Not to mention the exit from the Champeens League as well.

(With apologies to the great bard! )
