I see it
Foxes have holes
and birds in the air have nests.
wandering over foreign ports.
But I have a restless heart,
a cloud drifting over foreign ports.
- trans. Gene
고향에 고향에 돌아와도
그리던 고향은 어디러뇨
산꿩이 알을 품고
뻐꾸기 제철에 울건만
마음은 제 고향 지니지 않고
머언 항구로 떠도는 구름
In the forest of time they pluck
Eternity's single leaf.
C. Day Lewis
from The Poet
Word over all,
beautiful as the sky,
Beautiful that war and all its deeds
of carnage must in time be utterly lost,
That the hands of the sisters
Death and Night incessantly
softly wash again, and ever again,
this soiled world.
Walt Whitman
Poetry as divination,
poetry as revelation
of the self to the self,
as restoration
of the culture to itself.
Seamus Heaney
Preoccupations
Poetry is a discipline, a mnemonic tool, and that it can be used to bring healing, creative energies into a world which is sorely in need of them.
Ted Hughes
Poetry in the Making
"My passion has never been for photography "in itself,"
but for the possibility
- through forgetting yourself -
of recording in a fraction
of a second the
emotion of the subject, and the
beauty of the form."
Henri Cartier-Bresson
The Mind's Eye
