Untitled -- Tanith Lee

Guest poem sent in by Catherine Pegg , as part
of the "poetry by authors" theme
(Poem #1366) Untitled
 A rose by any other name
 Would get the blame
 For being what it is -
 The colour of a kiss,
 The shadow of a flame.
 A rose may earn another name,
 So call it love;
 So call it love I will,
 And love is like the sea,
 Which changes constantly,
 And yet is still
 The same.
-- Tanith Lee
Commentary:

One of the things that I admire about Tanith Lee is her versatility.  Her work
(mostly prose) ranges from science fiction, through fairy tales,
sword-and-sorcery, gothic horror to these beautiful little fantasy stories.
Some of the themes that crop up in her work are: Little Red Riding Hood,
vampires, re-incarnation, male-female gender politics, sexual ambiguity, the
odd bit of humour, philosophy, theology ...  While I find some of her horror a
bit dark, all of her work that I have read is carefully crafted, with
wonderfully lush visual images and strong plots.

She also does poetry.

This poem comes from one of my favourite novels, 'The Silver Metal Lover', a
love story.

I think the first part of the poem is lovely - the bit upto 'The shadow
of a flame'. However, the second part not only is not in keeping with
the first portion imo, but detracts from the pleasure of the whole.

All subjective but no less real for being that. Seen from my world-view,
of course. :-)

This is line is my favorite that is published in tis poetry My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit
and a bridle.
