To the Editor:

Re "An Afghan Poet Shapes Metal and Hard Words" (front page, Aug. 19):

While the verse of Matiullah Turab is admirable, perhaps in a brighter moment he will reconsider his harsh thoughts about the relevance of love and flowers to the war in Afghanistan.

Nothing seems more curative and defiant than love freely given or the appearance of a hardy flower in a miserable place created by human evil.

Perhaps Wordsworth captured it best when he wrote:

To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
