Poetry

I've been perusing a lot of poetry lately, my interest ebbs and flows...it's as if once in a while you get a need that only it can satisfy. I've tried my hand at it, but it's difficult for me to focus down to a central theme...besides, there's enough bad poetry clogging up the internet tubes already.

Anyway, the line "Time is the fire in which we burn" has haunted me for a long time since hearing it in a movie. I finally tracked down where it came from - a 20th century poet named Delmore Schwartz...the poem it comes from, "Calmly We Walk Through This April’s Day" is very good. Enjoy. And now I have a new poet's work to explore.
