The Best Way To Get Revenge Is To Be Sucessful !

My Arts

About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters; how well,
they understoodIts human position;
how it takes placeWhile someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently,passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth,there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horseScratches its innocent behind on a tree.


In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.
