Denise Levertov - The Secret
Work rating: Medium

	Two girls discover
	the secret of life
	in a sudden line of
	poetry.

	I who don`t know the
	secret wrote
	the line. They
	told me

	(through a third person)
	they had found it
	but not what it was
	not even

	what line it was. No doubt
	by now, more than a week
	later, they have forgotten
	the secret,

	the line, the name of
	the poem. I love them
	for finding what
	I can`t find,

	and for loving me
	for the line I wrote,
	and for forgetting it
	so that

	a thousand times, till death
	finds them, they may
	discover it again, in other
	lines

	in other
	happenings. And for
	wanting to know it,
	for

	assuming there is
	such a secret, yes,
	for that
	most of all.
