on Places among the stars, by Stephen Maria Crane, on February 22, 2004
one of my fav\'s
Somehow the pain and love mix together in Crane's words to form one fuzzy mess of sweet beauty. It's rough and uneven, but that in itself makes it more endearing and more sweet. It's the raw emotion... "I will not leave this place of death without her."
This is one of those poems that I wish someone would read to me, for as I sit in my place of blackness, all I long for is a companion. It may be all I needed to get a little inspiration back... -
on God lay dead in heaven; by Stephen Maria Crane, on January 2, 2004
intense!
I've been reading this piece over again for weeks, and i still don't think i grasp the deep meaning of Crane's words. It seems to me that this may have been inspired by an apocalyptic image of war, of a woman trying to save a man from dying... or at least, that's what i see in my mind when i read this.
In any case, it's incredibly thoughtful. -
on Crucifix by Anna Akhmatova, on December 28, 2003This is likely one of the most beautiful descriptions of Christ's death that i've ever read. It's simple, and sometimes the simple rhyme and unflowery common words can be the best in an important piece.
Crane wishes for a dream to be woven for his love, and instead of saying "let me be walking thereon" he says "let there be a man walking thereon." It shows that he wants his love to be happy, even if it's not with him. It is the kind of love we should all strive to achieve.
