This passage presents an interesting idea about God(s). That is, when the God or Gods, depending on what culture is being ask the question, leave and the world falls into a darkness so deep that it cannot tell it is in the dark, who can bring those holy beings back? The answer is the poets. Poets have a unique quality to them, which allows them to touch the very soul with their words. It is these poets who can reach out with their sonnets and grasp at the coattails of the fleeting ethereal realm, coming far closer than any other humans to catching even a particle of the God(s) holy light.
I commented on Wendy Bagwell's post.
Very true, I think of King David from the bible who wrote most of Psalms and the book Songs of Solomon. They are ancient books/poetry that still resinate with many people today.
ReplyDeleteI also found the idea about God(s) interesting. The poets are supposed to bring the holy beings back, and bring the world out of the chaotic destitution.
