    Hey,

    Please help because I'm going mad here with a line going round my head, like a snippet of a song, but I can't find the rest of it! It goes something like, "For they be they and they be not you." It might not be literally like that, but I remember it sounding unusual, like old language. I've tried googling it, but these are not easily googlable words. I have a feeling it could be a line from a poem.

    Any suggestions welcome!

    Thank you!

    Think it’s from a poem called “I loved you Best” by a guy called Jim Wllis in rememberance of his dog. You’ll find the full poem online.

    “There are others, that much is true, but they be they, and they aren't you”
