Mary ZimmermanLet me die the moment my love dies. Let me not outlive my own capacity to love. Let me die still loving, and so, never die.
About This Quote
The poet, Frank O’Hara, said: “Let me die the moment my love dies. Let me not outlive my own capacity to love. Let me die still loving, and so, never die.” This is a beautiful sentiment. Of course, we should always strive to live in such a way that we would never die.
That means always cherishing and loving others because we would hate to lose our loved ones. But, here O’Hara says that dying is a good thing because he would rather die loving than live forever having lost his love.
