Exquisite Poem

It's so true, ya know? Very powerful poem. I love how it connects with the deepest part of human nature and emotion. We held an hour-long lecture at Oxford on this poem simply because it is so astounding.

This Is Just to Say
by William Carlos Williams
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
