| Leonard Cohen – So Long, Marianne Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| @[corrinacorrina:52676] I try not to chase too hard after meaning in poems and songs. For one thing, translating poetry to prose tends to kill it. For another, a poem isn't necessarily written to convey meaning. Sometimes (a lot of the time) it's written to make you feel something. How can it make you fell without understanding? I don't know. As someone once put it to me, "Poetry is freaky." | |
