Poetry Friday

The secret of all art, also of poetry, is, thus, distance. Thanks to distance the past preserved in our memory is purified and embellished.

    This quote make me think of writing a poem and leaving it a while, coming back, then seeing something different. Thanks for this.

    I'm a firm believer in distance, too. Leaving a manuscript for several days is always the way to go.
