"Perhaps everybody has a Garden of Eden, I don't know; but they have scarcely seen the garden before they see the flaming sword.Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it. Either, or: it takes strength to remember, it takes another kind of strength to forget, it takes a hero to do both.People who remember court madness through pain, the pain of the perpetually recurring death of their innocence; people who forget court another kind of madness, the madness of the denial of pain and the hatred of innocence; and the world is mostly divided between madmen who remember and madmen who forget. Heroes are rare." / James Baldwin / / I started writing in February this Year. I wrote my first poem at the end of March and have been hooked since. / / Respect to all writers.
