...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

Poetry Daily: Today's Poem
where woods turn suddenly into a city
of narrow roads
and the old wander through town
searching for a doorway
to remind them their lives
are not a pain they dream
to remind them they are alive.
These lives are where they sing.
