One Art

BY ELIZABETH BISHOP

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.

—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

We hope you've been enjoying our editions so far. We will keep bringing young artists together to display their talent.

‏"رغم سهولة الصمت إلا أنه أشد ثقلاً من الكلام، ورغم أنه لا يُبذل فيه أي مجهود إلا أنه أكثر إرهاقًا وتعبًا من الحديث."

The more we apologize the more ineffective it becomes.

‏ينتهي بنا الأمر إلى الاستسلام إلى حتمية كل ما نخشاه، هكذا نتوقف عن الدفاع ونصل إلى أرض الانتظار التي تقودنا إليها فوضى الفزع
