Re: Your favorite poem and why
There are so many, but the one that comes immediately to my mind is.....
Edgar Allan Poe: El Dorado Why? To me it brilliantly reflects the endless search of Man for Meaning. Tell me what you think.......... Gaily bedight, A gallant night In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of El Dorado. But he grew old -- This knight so bold -- And -- o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like El Dorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow -- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be -- This land of El Dorado?" "Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied -- "If you seek for El Dorado." |
