Quote Of The Day ツ

9th April, 2014

And the quote of the day is:

"The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master. 

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.

 —Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster."

~ Elizabeth Bishop, One Art.

Everyday you lose something, small things, to be specific and that doesn't affect your day or your life in a significant way. But then one day you would loose something valueable. Something that will make you life a disaster. It would be totally uncalled for. You may not lose it all together at once but may be in bits and pieces. Then suddenly it dissapears. This thing is called love. Not the ones with prince charming or soul mates but the deepest of all. Think about what it would be to you, loosing your friends joking voice, smile, the little things about them that made you fall in love with that person. That would be a total disaster.
