Frankly, I'd like to make you smile.
Words addresssing evil won't turn evil back
but they can give heart.
The cheer is hidden in right words.
(from "The Cheer" by William Meredith)
A great statesman of American poetry took his leave of us today at the venerable age of 88. R.I.P. William Meredith.

Interesting: He's 88, and Whitman would be 188 today. Funny...but not "ha ha."
