“ Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do. ”
The greatest of all human delusions is that there is a tangible goal, and not just direction towards an ideal aim. The idea that a goal can be attained perpetually frustrates human beings, who are disappointed at never getting there, never being able to stop.
~ Stephen Spender
Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.
When a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, My mind a top whipped by the lashes Of your rhetoric, windy of course.
