All Comments on 'the Passage'

Strong phrases and good imagery as the poet often brings.

I have a little trouble with the juxtaposition of dark and light in some lines,

such as:

"Coal Tar dark the thoughts;

Match the night birds trill"

"Tar dark" and "birds (Sic) trill" don't seem to match to me.

Is it the intention of your poem to match what doesn't?
