“A line will take us hours maybe; / Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought, / Our stitching and unstitching has been naught...

For to articulate sweet sounds together / Is to work harder than all these, and yet / Be thought an idler by the noisy set.” IfsDoeHas BeensMomentsSeemsTogetherSoundHoursLinesBreakSweetHard WorkStonesHarderBonesKitchenWork HarderNoisyPavementMarrowIdlers Book:Later Poems Source: Later Poems
