Go, little book. If anybody asks <br />Why I add poems to a time like this, <br />Tell how the comeliness I can't take in <br />Of ships and other figures of content <br />Compels me still until I give them names; <br />And how I give them names impatiently, <br />As who should pull up roses by the roots <br />That keep him turning on his empty bed, <br />The smell intolerable and thick with loss.<br /><br />William Morris Meredith Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/envoi-5/
