The book is a synopsis of 31 proverbs, the writers of the proverbs being more than one individual. But the greater part written by King Solomon, King David's son and heir, known for his wisdom, his wealth and his wide experience of life at that time. Many of the 'sayings' contained in the proverbs are applicable to all generations, irrespective of the 'so called progress or change' as they relate to everyday life. Some sayings have proved to be 'lasting adages. Even to this present day, being used and quoted by the ordinary person as well as the more educated individual. Activities and experiences in modern day living are common to most individuals, paios and groups, and the proverbs are written to instruct, guide, encourage, warn etc, individuals, particularly family children and the wider circle of the dangers that lurk within social activities to the unaware; activities that can bring about regret, sorrow, misery, trouble and even fatality. Wise counsel is necessary to enable avoidance of such and give opportunity to establish character, and social acceptance, with responsible behaviour. Reverence toward God and His laws are to the fore and encouraged, even rewarded, as part of life's progress and success.Much is to be gained from an in depth knowledge of the book of proverbs and the keeping of its advice.

Long After The little smoke-black steamer, wet with spray, You went aboard, bound for England, homeAnd Blighty . . . The screws were churning up white foamAs you stood shivering on deck, she in a cloakThat clung wetly to her shoulders--the colour of dirtOr mourning--and the hat, battered straw, Without a ribbon or a feather, that, If she were rich, she would throw away;That she must wear and wear until it's dustOr she is. Round her neck she wore The handkerchief with which she waved goodbye for good.

The search for love (or failing that, sex), the passing of time and the inevitability of pain and grief, the struggle for transcendence against our awareness of limitation: these are the things that can suddenly seem to compose a life - a life not so much reduced to essentials as seen in its passionate essence, a 'shorter' life.
