On death.

With time one gets to discover, I think, that horrors, fear, darkness and evil are easier to bite when writing poems.

Dante's Divine Comedy has more intensity due to the journey into hell.

Baudelaire isn´t know by his encouraging images.

Ezra Pound isn´t... well, Ezra pound is no death chanter, but his verses are, at least, ironic.

One gets to assume, at some point, that it may be a modern issue or trend.

But you look at the holy bible and see, even without reading, that it is biased towards guilt and pain.

"Blessed are those who mourn..."

Jaime Sabines has a splendid mourning.

Let him share his blessing with all of us.
