In this poetry collection we find something new : the poet’s originality and capacity for profound emotions. It has been aptly remarked by Longinus that true emotion in the right place inspires the words. The most impressive quality of these poems is that the poet is able to fill the reader’s mind with illumination, which is the mark of genius and the guarantee of truth.
