(Poem #253) A Man Feared... (The Black Riders LVI) A man feared that he might find an assassin; Another that he might find a victim. One was more wise than the other. |
Today's poem, it would seem, scarce deserves the name - it lacks most of those qualities that one associates with the explicitly poetic. And yet, it is one of my favourite verses from The Black Riders - in its beautifully self-contained ambiguity it seems to embody McLeish's injunction that "a poem should not mean, but be". Links: For a more general discussion of Crane's poetry, including a biography, see poem #196 McLeish's poem, Ars Poetica, can be found at poem #188 And the complete text of The Black Riders (which you are strongly urged to read, in that this poem deserves to be read in its larger context) is available at the Poets' Corner, <[broken link] http://geocities.com/~spanoudi/poems/crane02.html>. m.
I am reminded of the following Bernard Shaw quote, from "Man and Superman":

of slavery."
