“Poetry is frequently introduced as an object of dissection rather than an experience of encounter. Students are trained to hunt for metaphors, symbols, and devices before they are allowed to feel the poem. This premature intellectualisation breeds anxiety rather than appreciation.”

“Justice
A mother will die.
A child will be saved.
A serpent will always bite.

the jury and the executioner, in this case,
are one and the same, and their perception of justice –
airtight!
Untouched by the melodrama.”

“When we two parted,

of the two
who
lived all our lives together,
so close and near,
and so, so dear
one could hardly guess
one from the other.”
