Is this translated?

I like "And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass" and "The same night that whitens the same trees." Everything else seems almost-trite, but still generally okay.

Share some of yours?

you should probably read one hundred years of solitude if you haven't yet. also love in time of cholera, both by gabriel garcia marquez (that lady mentioned it today). when read, they sound like long poems. you'd enjoy thoroughly

If everyone succumbed to such fears there would be no Shakespeare, no Neruda, no countless brilliant essays at all.

hahaha no it'll just mean that you'll write an amazing essay.

read it. now.
