This poem is an apology (In the classical sense, a statement or explanation). #Van_Doren is thanking the world for its #poetry, & admitting his failure, which also happens to be the inevitable fate of every #poet and author. We fail. Even our heroes fail, mine being #Walt_Whitman. It is a bitter
What am I doing just now? Reading #Mrs.Dalloway, and chatting with #Walt_Whitman. He likes the apples and tea I serve for breakfast. #Virginia_Woolf suffered greatly. But she was kind enough to bequeath to the world some of the best #prose ever written.

#Mary_Oliver's poetry will forever hold territory in my imagination. From her centered and natural expression there exists an inexhaustible well. It is the well #Walt_Whitman drank from. It's the well of life.

My "Main-Bard" (Walt Whitman), with a soul the size of a cosmos, blesses you when he speaks. Recite this gem aloud. It is a tonic and boon for every heart.
I read his poetry everyday. Be so blessed.
