meaning
Beneath a thick layer of nothing
(curiously wounded when it’s seen
by piercing eyes full of longing
to find a reason deep within)
Lays a heart tired of beating
(yet stronger than it looks)
sick of looking for a meaning
in the shape of the knights and rooks
Dipping the feather in the darkest ink
they write conditions for my repentance
but this is not what you think -
I have never read their sentence
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
