    Poem Commentary

    Living well is the best revenge

    Oubliette

    I am not a prisoner bound
    I am the oubliette
    I cannot be found
    Nor can I forget

    The proof lies with me
    Of what they would hide
    What they wish not to be
    I mock and chide

    I vex them

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
