I am proud only of those days that pass in
undivided tenderness.

Poem by Robert Bly for a spring time meander. #poetry #robertbly #gonegonegone #springpoems

Robert Bly gave millions of men hope and responsibility to dream a better future for themselves with his book 'Iron John' from the early nineties. It's a worthy read. RIP #robertbly

Half a century ago, I heard #RobertBly read his poems at #PacificLutheranUniversity . One of those pivot-events that changed my understanding of poetry and invited me along. At his passing, a chance to celebrate his work and remember his passion!

#RobertBly Oh the joy you gave us would still be remembered. Rest in peace.
Because when a poet dies, he is born again.

“I am proud only of those days that pass in undivided tenderness.”

Tomas Transtromer, translated by Robert Bly. What a poem! #tomastranstromer #robertbly

Poet #RobertBly died a day before yesterday. He once wrote to his very good friend and Nobel laureate Tomas Transtromer :

All is well here. We think of you often. Don’t work so hard. After we’re dead, the world will get on well without us.

🌸

Taking the hands of someone you love,
You see they are delicate cages...
Tiny birds are singing
In the secluded prairies
And in the deep valleys of the hand.

'Taking the Hands' #RobertBly (1926-2021)

'If we're already so close to death, why should we complain?
Robert, you've climbed so many trees to reach the nests.
It's all right if you grow your wings on the way down.'

“Night after night goes by in the old man’s head./We try to ask new questions. But whatever/The old poets failed to say will never be said.”—Robert Bly (December 23, 1926- Nov 21, 2021) #BOTD #RobertBly
