Words per minute #2: Szymborska on Love

True love. Is it really necessary?
Tact and common sense tell us to pass over it in silence,
like a scandal in Life’s highest circles.
Perfectly good children are born without its help.
It couldn’t populate the planet in a million years,
it comes along so rarely.Let the people who never find true love
keep saying that there’s no such thing.

Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die.

(Wislawa Szymborska, True Love)
