It is not growing like a tree

It is not growing like a tree
In bulk doth make Man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it fall and die that night --
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we jyst beauties see;
And in short measures may perfect be

                 - Ben Jonson
