Jaroslav Seifert rides the Tube ...

And Now Goodbye

Poetry is with us from the start.
Like loving.
Like hunger, like the plague, like war.
At times my verses were embarassingly foolish.
But I make no excuse.
I believe that seeking beautiful words
is better
than killing and murdering.

(Jaroslav Seifert is a rather famous Czech poet. I found this on the Tube ... and suddenly commuting didn't seem so bad, and neither did poetry, which I normally hate.)
