Not every poem is finished— one poem is abandoned,
another catches fire and is carried away by the wind, which
may be an ending, but it is the ending of a poem without an end.
Paul Valery,
the French poet and thinker, once said that, "No poem is ever ended, that every poem is merely abandoned." This saying is also attributed to Stephane Mallarme, for where quotations begin is in a cloud.
