A Sonnet The Third

What ask’d virtue that is love, I wonder,

That accustom’d to the world I hold dear,

A concept of thought under warm cov’rs,

Despite this, thou art more a thing to fear,

 

And yet, I gaze on without lustful eyes,

For neither is rotting of virgin heart,

But, I lament naught seeing thou art’s highs,

Temp’rament more bound to thou than apart,

 

Seeking one’s heart is not but tied apart,

A brill’iant stroke of luck sought naught but here,

To love more deeply judge than on a fart,

Foreways I see marr’iage coming yonder,

 

What can thy say about love to thou’est,

To explain rath’r than to wrong a jest?

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
