It is the fool that seeks
love through poetry,
taking verse to be
the flower than the fruit.
It is the fool that thinks
love reads poetry,
when he is imaged, only imaged,
and not heard, not known.
It is the fool that feels
love as poetry,
attempting always to make
sublime the routine,
forgetting how all the best
elegies are prose.
