More about Play and Pain (with poem)

Play and Pain

From times of old to this now day
we ask ourselves in vain:
does poetry begin in play
or does it start in pain?

Heracli- and Democritus
stare wild at poetry
but offer no response to this
eternal query.

Poem and image by Philip Nikolayev

NB: Heraclitus and Democritus are traditionally represented as the Weeping Philosopher and the Laughting Philosopher, respectively.
