- ISL 6y agoThanks to the mods (?) for bumping this upward. Szymborska is my favorite poet -- I'm glad to see her work hitting resonance on the front page.

- SeanFerree 6y agoVery nice!! Great article!
- ynac 6y agoDecades ago, I received a gift while reading Hackers by Stephen Levy and an anthology Scottish poetry. In Hackers, there's a page or two that talks about the relationship between the wiring under their train set and the ability to "hack" the lines / bytes of code required for a program to operate. Moments later, I was reading Robert Burns. The gift was: remove all that is unnecessary and include only your best, and you have the best chance of success. Poetry is language hacking - thank you ISL for posting this here - well played!
