Looking at how the right words can make huge emotional impacts. What poem pulls at your heartstrings? |
| Funeral Blues by Auden might be a bit obvious.. I first encountered it in the funeral scene in Four Weddings And A Funeral. The last verse is well done: 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. |
| My story Pilots features this little-known exquisite verse - The Blind Man Flies by Cuthbert Hicks I am blind: I have never seen Sun gold nor silver moon, Nor the fairy faces of flowers, Nor the radiant noon. They speak of the dawn and the dusk, And the smile of a child, Of the deep red heart of a rose, As of God, undefiled. But I learnt from the air to-day (On a bird’s wings I flew) That the earth could never contain All of the God I knew. I felt the blue mantle of space, And kissed the cloud's white hem, I heard the stars’ majestic choir, And sang my praise with them. Now joy is mine through my long night, I do not feel the rod, For I have danced the streets of Heaven, And touched the face of God |
