It's been a long time since my last college English class, but I enjoyed Derek Walcott:
"...I loved them, my children, my wife, my home;
I loved them as poets love the poetry
that kills them, as drowned sailors the sea."
"...I loved them, my children, my wife, my home;
I loved them as poets love the poetry
that kills them, as drowned sailors the sea."
"The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome..."
