Poetry is a verdict


"Lever les Yeux"

"Poetry is a verdict not an occupation...Once the fire celebrated Light, the
dirst Humility, the blood Sacrifice...Once, for a while, he seemed to serve
something other than himself. Those were the only poems he ever wrote. They
were for Shell. He wanted to give her back her body."

- from The Favourite Game by Leonard Cohen
