"This is not poetry. Poetry cannot exist here in the field where they killed her.
There are no flowers though there appear to be
flowers.
They left the bodies in that field
to the flying, stinging creatures, to damp butterflies of
sadness
and pain, to the eyes of the everlasting who catalogues the cruelties of humans from one nation to another from one ragged scar to another." — Apr 21, 2026 05:23AM

“Imaginatively she is of the highest importance; practically she is completely insignificant. She pervades poetry from cover to cover; she is all but absent from history. She dominates the lives of kings and conquerors in fiction; in fact she was the slave of any boy whose parents forced a ring upon her finger. Some of the most inspired words, some of the most profound thoughts in literature fall from her lips; in real life she could hardly read, could scarcely spell, and was the property of her husband.”
