For rage and dignity no words compare
wi' the Atlantic Ocean lashed by winds;
gestures of love of juveniles are sweeter
than any words of mine. But for alcaic
rapidity and a pat surprise i' the end
you must read Horace: oh, the fertile fields
and the repetitive factories produce,
tho many other things, no metaphors.
Many a labor is heavier to do
and profit by than stanzas, but these are
within my skill: shall I ungratefully
my gift of formal speech disdain?
By formal speech Sheharazad a thousand
midnights prone violence appeased,
the homicidal hurry i' the soul
embarrassed into an uncertain smile.
– Paul Goodman (1949)
