Poetry

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
— W. H. Auden

Poetry is a form of literary art that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings and emotions. It is distinguished from prose by its emphasis on the expressive qualities of words, as well as the use of devices like metaphor, simile, and verse structure. Poetry has deep historical roots and appears in nearly all cultures and languages, frequently serving artistic, ritualistic, and narrative functions. It continues to evolve, embracing various traditional and experimental styles. Read more on Wikipedia.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
