"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." 

A poem should be equal to:
 ...

 For all the history of grief
 An empty doorway and a maple leaf

Ars Poetica -- Archibald MacLeish

Ars Poetica

 A poem should be palpable and mute
 As a globed fruit
 Dumb
 As old medallions to the thumb
Silent as the sleeve-worn stone
 Of casement ledges where the moss has grown -

A poem should be wordless
 As the flight of birds
 A poem should be motionless in time
 As the moon climbs
Leaving, as the moon releases
 Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,
Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves,
 Memory by memory the mind -
A poem should be motionless in time
 As the moon climbs

A poem should be equal to:
 Not true
For all the history of grief
 An empty doorway and a maple leaf
For love
 The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea -
A poem should not mean
 But be

-- Archibald MacLeish
