Goethe visits <br />Schiller <br /> <br />but Schiller <br />is out & about. <br /> <br />Goethe sits at <br />Schiller's writing desk <br /> <br />awaiting <br />his return <br /> <br />but almost passes out <br />with the smell....the smell! <br /> <br />For Schiller can't write <br />without this smell <br /> <br />rotting apples <br />(stashed away in a drawer) <br /> <br />Each line flowing from this pungencey <br />each line drenched in the scent <br /> <br />of apples... <br />apples rotting.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/schiller-is-a-rotten-apple/
