I write to find out what I didn't know I knew.
Robert Frost

Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting. . . . Read it a hundred times it will forever keep its freshness as a metal keeps its fragrance. It can never lose its sense of a meaning that once unfolded by surprise as it went.

Everyone asks for freedom for himself, The man free love, the businessman free trade, The writer and talker free speech and free press.
