“[There must have been a draught for the flame flickered and I thought it was out.] But I shielded it with my hand and it burned up again to light me along the dark passage.”

"Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions..."

“Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?”

- excerpt from “the love song of j. alfred prufrock” (ll. 45-54)

t.s. eliot (1888–1965). prufrock and other observations. 1920.

“Just the first 26 letters of a poem can form 26 to the 26th power arrangements, a number so unimaginable that although trillions of lines would be gibberish, the remaining possibilities are so vast that poetry is, like our minds, virtually infinite.”

- Michael Lipsey (via stoicmike)

The instructor said,

Go home and write
a page tonight.
And let that page come out of you—
Then, it will be true.

I wonder if it’s that simple?
I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem.
I went to school there, then Durham, then here
to this college on the hill above…
