My favorite part is how “failure in a poem” both comes out of left field and is a failed poem. That one made me laugh out loud.

Thanks, Hedwig! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I look forward to these every year. Thank you for another great batch! (I think failure in the poem is my favorite, too.)

Thanks, Just Me!

These are so fun! But yeah, I will raise my right arm to the square and join all in favor of “…failure in the poem.”

Thanks, Jake C!

That I may one day, leaving the vision of terror,
sing praise and glory again to assenting angels.
That of the hearts clearly smitten hammers
none may fall weakly on flat, doubtful
or unsettled strings. That my streaming countenance
make me shine. That my hidden weeping flower.
How dear you will be to me then, nights of affliction.
Could I have taken you to me, comfortless sisters,
more kneelingly—could I have lost myself more
wholly in your loosened hair. We, the wasters of sorrows.
How we look out on their sad prolongation, wondering
if they will ever end. And yet they are
our lasting winter foliage, our dark evergreen of the senses,
one of the seasons of the inward year—nor just a
season merely, but bedrock, settlement, home, and dwelling.

— Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies: X, trans. John Waterfield
