When I was in high school in Puerto Rico almost 50 years ago, we had to
memorize a poem by an American poet. I chose "Life has loveliness to
sell..." I recited it with all of the passion of youth, but it is still my
very favorite poem.

I was taught this poem by my english teacher in the 10th grade. When I
came accrossed it, I just had to smile. I still remember it word for
word... Time has a way of allowing you to understand the deeper meaning of
things... What a great piece of work this poem is!!!

This poem is beautifully written. Sarah Teasdale could not have chosen a
better way to describe all of the wonders of life. "Blue waves whitened on
a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings." It gives me chills. Spend
all you have for the beauties of life and never count the cost! The last 2
lines of the poem are so moving:
"And for a breath of ecstasy,
Give all you have been, or could be."
Give all of yourself to obtain the tiniest bit of extreme happiness. I
believe everyone should live their lives in such a manner and enjoy all of
the beauties and wonders in life to the fullest. If you are in to
classical music, the poem Barter in SSA format is absolutely breathtaking
and if you get a chance you should listen to it. It really brings the poem
to life. I feel that it brings out the poem's most important messages.
