No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.

No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.

It is absurd to think that the only way to tell if a poem is lasting is to wait and see if it lasts. The right reader of a good poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound-that he will never get over it.

Robert Frost, Mark Richardson (2007). “The Collected Prose of Robert Frost”, p.108, Harvard University Press

I was under twenty when I deliberately put it to myself one night after good conversation that there are moments when we actually touch in talk what the best writing can only come near. The curse of our book language is not so much that it keeps forever to the same set phrases . . . but that it sounds forever with the same reading tones. We must go out into the vernacular for tones that haven't been brought to book.
