I s'pose you'd have to have lived under a rock or in a cave to not know The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam! THE MOVING FINGER?

I wonder if the donjohn knows about it?

"The Moving Finger writes and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety or Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line
Nor all your Tears wash out a World of it."

If he ever read would he have comprehended the meaning? Think he quotes famous lines from anything?
