[Tzara]

Set your face to the lonely spaces,
Vast and gaunt, of the midnight sky!
There, with the drifting cloud, your place is,
There with the griefs that cannot die.
Love is a mocking fiend's derision,
Peace a phantom, and faith a snare!
Make the hope of your heart a vision--
Look to heaven, and find it there!

"People's whole lives do pass in front of their eyes before they die.
The process is called 'living'."

A poet should be of the
old-fahioned meaningless brand:
obscure, esoteric, symbolic,
-- the critics demand it;

so if there's a poem of mine
that you do understand
I'll gladly explain what it means
till you don't understand it.

The man who is only a poet, is not even that.
