If I were to choose between the power of writing a poem and the ecstasy of a poem unwritten, I would choose the ecstasy. It is better poetry. But you and all my neighbors agree that I always choose badly. Poetry is not an opinion expressed. It is a song that rises from a bleeding wound or a smiling mouth.
Words are timeless.
You should utter them or write them with a knowledge of their timelessness. And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another light. And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom. Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation Tomorrow never leaves a secret in the book of eternity. The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no man-made jewels to heighten her loveliness but is content with the green verdure of her fields, The golden sands of her seashores and the precious stones of her mountains.
