The Light That Is Visible From The Hill. A commentary on some modern poetic works.
Climb higher up the hill
And look around.
Try to see people
Who was studying for years, decades, centuries,
Who, under sail, rounded the globe in three years and did not lose their fortitude,
Who, for centuries, wrote books kept annals, compiled chronicles,
Who built a huge factories in the cold with almost no salary,
Who was dying in millions, fought, did not give up and won.
And when diligence, faith, courage, perseverance, the desire to learn and to know new things will become available to the views of poets and observers,
Then the poetesses will be successful to step out of the never-ending shade.
