The only jarring bit is the final couplet, as the offered hope is not strong enough to counteract the gloom of the poem. The talent is exquisite, yet this particular poem does not sting deeply with its message. I cannot tell whether it was meant to sting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
