Literature is a part of life and it forms how we see the world. Those pieces of poetry I have committed to memory, as diverse as "Scaffolding" by Seamus Heeney and several poems by folks like Lord Byron or William Butler Yates, inform the way I look at life.
Living is an art, not a science, and making art a part of us, for example by memorizing poetry, is an important part of being good at that art.
