through the palace wall

There is a hole in the palace wall.
A good poem is like that!

You never know what you might see.


—Tukaram (11th C., India)
Quoted in Robert McDowell’s Poetry As Spiritual Practice

    What I love about this is that Tukaram doesn't say if the poem lets us look into or out from the palace. It must be both!
