Glorious Rolling Lines Comments

I can't follow this poem. The flow of poetic speech is interrupted several times, so I can't tell what the overall impression is. But I'll say this: If one of the points you're making is declaring a lack of faith in the ELOQUENCE OF POETIC SPEECH, that is, GLORIOUS ROLLING LINES, no, do not abandon what you have done so well for so long. This expressiveness drew me to your poetry back in winter, as in the Barge poem, which carries a tragic, even pessimistic vision but in language that asserts the wonder, truth and beauty of our human voice - YOUR HUMAN VOICE. Never lose faith in that voice within you, Emmanuel, it's a blessing you share with all.
