L'exil.(Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker

Poem Hunter/ H. Crane/ poems and life/ 6/38.
This is a love poem to his partner from whom he is exiled. They are far away from each other. His hands have not felt pleasure since holding hers. Even so, their love endures across the distance, though starving from lack of physical contact. The blue stone in his dress ring- a symbol of their love- shines more brightly.
I found 'Exile' a much more straightforward poem than 'Legend'.
That does not mean that it is necessarily better.
