News at Eleven: "I dwell in Possibility," says Emily Dickinson,

"a fairer House than Prose,/More numerous of Windows,/Superior--for Doors." Czeslaw Milosz felt poetry was what we have to fight with against nothingness. It was about life and for life. "Out of reluctant matter/What can be gathered?/Nothing, beauty at best./And so, cherry blossoms must suffice for us/And chrysanthemums and the full moon."

from The Guardian: Turn over a new leaf
