ok, i decided to take the extra two minutes and actually find out who she was, and i did, and here\u2019s the poem.<\/p>\n
One Art<\/p>\n
The art of losing isn\u2019t hard to master;<\/p>\n
so many things seem filled with the intent<\/p>\n
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.<\/p>\n
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster<\/p>\n
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.<\/p>\n
The art of losing isn\u2019t hard to master.<\/p>\n
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:<\/p>\n
places, and names, and where it was you meant<\/p>\n
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.<\/p>\n
I lost my mother\u2019s watch. And look! my last, or<\/p>\n
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.<\/p>\n
The art of losing isn\u2019t hard to master.<\/p>\n
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,<\/p>\n
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.<\/p>\n
I miss them, but it wasn\u2019t a disaster.<\/p>\n
—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture<\/p>\n
I love) I shan\u2019t have lied. It\u2019s evident<\/p>\n
the art of losing\u2019s not too hard to master<\/p>\n
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.<\/p>\n
