It's one of the most loved - a bewilderment at existence

Into this Universe, and why not knowing,
Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,
I know not whither, willy-nilly blowing.

Edward FitzGerald muses about the aimlessness of life and the wastefulness of death ... and I love the elegance and pathos of his musing.
