An artistic credo
Posted by Curt at 07:13 PM in Literature | TrackBackOn being asked for a War Poem
I think it better that in times like these
A poet’s mouth be silent, for in truth
We have no gift to set a statesman right;
He has had enough of meddling who can please
A young girl in the indolence of her youth,
Or an old man upon a winter’s night.
—W.B. Yeats
