this is just to say / william carlos williams
- I have eaten
- the plums
- that were in
- the icebox
-
- and which
- you were probably
- saving
- for breakfast
-
- Forgive me
- they were delicious
- so sweet
- and so cold
--- (excerpt from) eloisa to abelard / alexander pope
- How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
- The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
- Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
- Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
