I am bookmarking this poem on my favorites on my PC.  I have been reading poetry since 1973---fortyfour years as of next month.  And this is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT poems I have ever read in all of that time.  I am overwhelming by the amount of wisdom in such a few words.  I have searched and searched for this resolution, as I said in my previous comment, for forty years.
