COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Daniel Brick 06 August 2016

What a remarkable personification of both POETRY and BEAUTY. The verses themselves need to be restored by a sojourn in a garden world, but then they have to go back to the world of contingency and hardship. (It has to be hard to be a poem living and ignored in today's literary world ruled by novels!) . I am strangely touched by this poem - it has the objective tone of sacred myth, there is not a trace of sentimentality. What speaks clearly is a sympathetic irony.
