Poem & Life





A poem begins with a lump in the throat, a home-sickness or a love-sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where the emotion has found its thought and the thought has found the words."


- Robert Frost



And a poem ends with a lump in the throat, a home-sickness or a love-sickness.

"A poem is never finished, only abandoned."

- Paul Valery (1874-1945), French poet



The same thing can also be said about Life.
