TRUTH is enough for prose: <br />Calmly it goes <br />To tell just what it knows. <br /> <br />For verse, skill will suffice- <br />Delicate, nice <br />Casting of verbal dice. <br /> <br />Poetry, men attain <br />By subtler pain <br />More flagrant in the brain- <br /> <br />An honesty unfeigned, <br />A heart unchained, <br />A madness well restrained.<br /><br />Christopher Morley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-the-mermaid-caffeteria/
