Poetry is the weeping eye
it is the weeping shoulder
the weeping eye of the shoulder
it is the weeping hand
the weeping eye of the hand
it is the weeping soul
the weeping eye of the heel.
Oh, you friends,
poetry is not a tear
it is the weeping itself
[…]

— Nichita Stănescu, from “Poetry”, Bas-Relief with Heroes, trans. Thomas Carlson
