answer to Laila Roth's "Brown study"


Sorrows



Can emptiness be filled with anything?
It must. A vacuum sucks,
and black holes are attractive;
but can sorrows, that are abstract,
fill a concrete emptiness?
Let's stick to philosophic symbolism,
which only can make all things possible.
Indeed can sorrows be so great
so as to fill a universal emptiness,
since there are no greater human feelings
than the sentiments of grief and sorrow.
So indeed can sorrow fill up anything
and even the most universal emptiness,
which maybe only sorrows can fill up.

Laila Roth
This must be the answer to my poem which you promised.
Remember, that Dante had to go thorugh all hell just to get out of it!

Very clever lines. Sorrow an eternal mystery that will always be with us. I love the line, " a vacum sucks..."
