I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
"It is futile," I said,
"You can never — "
"You lie," he cried,
And ran on.

Love the contrast
From guest Matt (contact)
I love both of your perspectives. I used to agree with the first guy about how rational thought will never be payed atention and its fultile. Now I like the idea of pursuing your dreams. There are two different people in this poem. We can decided to be either of them. I think a happier life is lived in "pursuing" than in "accosting" and being "disturbed" Don't get in the way of people going after their dreams. Let them live their life. In the poem one man is standing still, one is moving about experiencing new adventures. I'd rather pursue and fail than do nothing! -
Amazing
From guest Gregory (contact)
I see it as entirely different. To me it means not to let anyone get in the way of your dreams. Even if people think that you're crazy to do something or that it's impossible, you shouldn't let them get you down. Follow your dreams and you can accomplish anything you want -
#1 All Time Favourite Poem
From guest FichenDich (contact)
This has been my absolute most favourite poem for essentially my entire life. An invaluable tool, it taught me at an early age the futility of attempting to interject rationality. It is never appreciated, and is disregarded. It remains a phenominal work. -
