Classic poems offer us wisdom, reflection, and comfort from some of the greatest minds and most sensitive hearts of the past. They may be old, but their universal themes and the timeless language of the heart that they speak make them ever-new, just as relevant to us as to their original audience. In fact, if anything, they grow better with time, like a fine wine, aged, and more precious because it’s rarer.
These poems are not so frequently found on people’s shelves as they once were. They may die out if we are not careful. Let’s preserve them for our own sakes and the sake of future generations.
