From the December 2011 Issue of Poetry. I hope you experience measures of splendor.
By Taha Muhammad Ali
1931 - 2011
And so
it has taken me
all of sixty years
to understand
that water is the finest drink,
and bread the most delicious food,
and that art is worthless
unless it plants
a measure of splendor in people's hearts.
