A poem should be palpable and mute As a globed fruit: Dumb As old medallions to the thumb; Silent as a sleeve-work stone Of casement ledges where the moss has grown - A poem should be wordless As the flight of birds. A poem should be motionless in time As the moon climbs; Leaving, as the moon releases Twig by twig the night-entangled trees - Leaving as the moon behind the winter leaves, Memory by memory the mind. A poem should be equal to Not true. For all the history of grief As empty doorway and a maple leaf; For love The learning grasses and two lights above the sea - A poem should not mean, But be. "Ars Poetica" ~ Archibald Mac Leish

My fiftieth year had come and gone. I sat, a solitary man, In a crowded London shop, An open book and empty cup On the marble table top. While on the shop and street I gazed My body of a sudden blazed; And twenty minutes more or less It seemed, so great my happiness, That I was blessed and could bless. ~ Yeats
