The poem itself speaks to me. It has since I read it during my first Literature course in my freshman year of university. Something about the tone of regret and loss of someone so much older than I was then(though now it doesn't seem so far away) spoke to me about the way in which to live life. The way in which I could approach my life so that I too would not be full of regret. Say no to being timid. Say no to fear. Live life. Truly live it.



My favorite poem of all time, by far. It's raw brilliance at worst. I can't believe I didn't say it first.
