I am not old, but getting close enough to feel spurred on by some favorite lines from a favorite poet:
"An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick, unless Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing For every tatter in its mortal dress." -Yeats, "Sailing to Byzantium" Even in my early years at college, I loved these lines from Yeats. Now into my 60s, I find them profoundly inspiring. My poetry is me clapping my hands and singing. -Kevin Hadduck |
