Of all the works of man I like best
Those which have been used.
The copper pots with their dents and flattened edges
The knives and forks whose wooden handles
Have been worn away by many hands: such forms
Seemed to me the noblest.


"Of all the works of man" [Von allen Werken] (c. 1932) in Poems, 1913-1956, p. 192 - Poems, 1913-1956 (1976)
