Poems, the patterns in poems, show us not just what somebody thought or what someone did or what happened but what it was like to be a person like that, to be so anxious, so lonely, so inquisitive, so goofy, so preposterous, so brave.
Gedichte, die Muster in Gedichten, zeigen uns nicht nur, was jemand dachte, was jemand machte oder was geschah, sondern wie es war, wie die Person zu sein, so ängstlich, so einsam, so neugierig, so albern, so unsinnig, so mutig.
