Tantas coisas contêm em si o acidente. De perdê-las, que perder não é nada sério. Perca um pouquinho a cada dia. Aceite, austero, A chave perdida, a hora gasta bestamente. A arte de perder não é nenhum mistério. Depois perca mais rápido, com mais critério: Lugares, nomes, a escala subseqüente. Da viagem não feita.

In the first stanza, Bishop sets out her intentions. She seems to affirm that loss is part of the human condition: we lose both significant and insignificant things constantly and should thus accept this as a natural part of life, and even master this practice so as to remove any sensation of disaster we may take from it. These two points will be r...
In the second stanza, she invites the reader in by naming two extremely common things to lose: keys and time. The enjambmentbetween the first and second lines causes us to pause and contemplate how ridiculous is this ‘fluster’ that occurs when we lose our keys. She eases us slowly into her idea: the universality of these two occurrences allows us t...
The emotional tension begins to subtly build in the third stanza as Bishop incites us to further our practice, broadening the scope of our loss. Here, the things we lose are more related to thought and memory: people, places, and plans that, with time, naturally escape our head and no longer form part of our lives. This is harder for the reader to ...

Almost imperceptibly, the speaker switches from addressing the reader to drawing on her own experience. It is here that Bishop begins to undermine her meticulous structural details and carefully impassive tone. “I lost my mother...
The first-personspeaker continues in the fifth stanza as the poet attempts to further distance herself from loss. She is stepping further and further back and the picture she is painting reaches a higher geographical level: to cities and continents. Nevertheless, this is undermined by a wistful tone: the cities she lost were “lovely ones” and, alth...
The fifth stanza leads us to a brief look at the structure of ‘One Art’. The villanelle allows for a break in its pattern of tercets and tight rhyme, giving away to one quatrain with a repeated rhyme. Just as the structure cracks, as does the poetic voice. The final stanza opens with a dash, which could perhaps be seen as an attempt at a casual ton...
1 de jul. de 2021 · And look! my last, or. next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn’t hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster. — Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture. I love) I shan’t have lied.
