Unbelievable imagery with boundless word pictures that paint the stories meaning. An interesting illustration accompanies this rendering ~ adding to it's charm.
Excellently done; makes me think of poetry written at least a century ago (or more). The type that is not immediately grasped on first reading but has such rich flavor that you want to go back for repreat tastings.
This poem was mentioned in the Archival Review thread, in a picking through Lit's archive of over 36,000 poems.
----------
I am a college graduate (BBA)and am well read besides, but still had some trouble understanding the seldom used words such as auric, balaster, arpeggio of inter-reveri (have no clue what that is)and unsure what "de-lis" means in conjunction with terraces. SO, if the author intended this poem to be read by the common man, she will not reach her audience. I liked the imagery, it flowed, but other than that, it did not make a point. What was the conclusion or is this just part of the total.
Timeless and yet dreams of far flung lands, stars and nebulae calling mariners to venture and see.. Very nice...
Beautiful images. Beautiful language. Thank you for sharing. :)
