Such a great discussion today! Thank you!
Can you explain stanza 1 of The Flower? … particularly the words “returns” and “demean.” I love this poem and it’s telling of life returning after grief and this being brought about by the “Lord of Power.”
I also thought it interesting that he ends with a warning about Pride.
