to be the Present, the burdenless now vainglory how the only piece of World that is the whole— is a forevertinged horizon we breathe a dawn and a dusk and an island, fated rust excepting cheer full collapse.

Finally had the time to go over them; - Sometimes I am alive because with: I really liked this one, it felt like love at first then when I kept reading I started to understand that he was speaking a bit more sensual but I wasn’t sure till I went to read about him and saw his explicit writing style. I didn’t understand these lines “until we shall attain the Springsmelling intense large togethercoloured instant” -I felt a funeral in my brain: While she says brain I likened it to mind, this poem cuts deeper Reading this poem I felt an empty and melancholic vibe with each stanza representing even a deeper plunge into mental instability. I feel like a lot of people would be able to relate to this. - wasn’t sure the exact poem you recommended from the third link - Marina: Something about this poem seems very “old fashioned” and the way it was written, i could try to explain what I got from the poem but I don’t think I really understand it fully, was sensing a theme of grief(not sure).
