Daily Quote
Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks. (William Shakespeare)
恋爱的人去赴他情人的约会，像一个放学归来的儿童；可是当他和情人分别的时候，却像上学去一般满脸懊丧。（威廉·莎士比亚）
Poem of the Day
Poetry for Beginners
Gabeba Baderoon
In the evening poetry class for beginners
in the community hall during the introductions
a girl looking down behind her hair
and a thick brown coat she doesn’t take off
breathes in deep and risking
something says fast
my boyfriend’s in prison and I’m here
to find out how to write to him
through the bars
and someone laughs
and she pulls herself back into her coat
and from inside looks past us
and the next week doesn’t
come back
and I think of her for years
and what poetry is
I think of her long pause
at the beginning
her silence before
and her silence after
and this is my origin
where poetry is risk, is betrayal
and the memory of the first question
how not to be alone
Beauty of Words
Charlie’s Rave
