ayoubMost of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favour.
A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
A poet never takes notes. You never take notes in a love affair.
Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I'll forgive Thy great big joke on me.
~ Robert Frost
