Simplicity

The most complicated skill 
Is to be simple. 

To say more while saying less 
Is the secret of being simple. 

To not say all that can be said 
Is the secret of discipline and economy. 

To leave out beautiful sunsets 
Is the secret of good taste. 

To hide feelings when you are near crying 
Is the secret of dignity. 

To cut and tighten sentences 
Is the secret of mastery. 

To keep the air fresh among words 
Is the secret of verbal cleanliness. 

To write good poems 
Is the secret of brevity. 

To go against the grain 
Is the secret of bravery. 

To risk life to save a smile on a face of a woman or a child 
Is the secret of chivalry. 

To go where no one else has ever gone before 
Is the secret of heroism. 

To expect to be kissed having bad breath 
Is the secret of a fool. 

Words rich in meaning 
Can be cheap in sound effects.

I came not hither of my own free will,

I came not hither of my own free will,
And go against my wish, a puppet still;
Cupbearer! gird thy loins, and fetch some wine;
To purge the world's despite, my goblet fill.

He brought me hither, and I felt surprise,

He brought me hither, and I felt surprise,
From life I gather but a dark surmise,
I go against my will;—thus, why I come,
Why live, why go, are all dark mysteries.
