Poetry Quote by Blythe Baird — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Eché mi esperanza al mar:”

“Poetry emerging from a poet enters into the reader only when it comes within the readers’ 'sphere of intellect. A reader cannot take poetry by expanding it beyond his/her consciousness, rather can take by shrinking it within. Thus, there exists a chance of every poem getting changed while reaching every reader. This ‘getting changed’ is a form of ‘getting translated’, in a way. So, every assimilation of any poem is a translation.”

“I went out to the hazel wood”

“It's better to swim in the sea below”

“Remember me when I am gone away,”

“Before a wall”
