The Paradox of Words

Geoffrey Hill and Yves Bonnefoy passed into the paradox of words. The paradox of words

makes us feel the presence of words which are, in fact, only signs and as such, made of

absence. Hill and Bonnefoy died but are still with us. Poets are like words: they are present

in their absence. They're still with us just like the words they left us. We should not grieve a lot.
