APH,+Robinson+Jeffers+highest+purpose+on+poem

Abe Hyatt

I think that the author's higher purpose for this poem is to create a sad song through examples of everyday life. He communicates the feelings in the poem extremely well and uses a lot of critical details that really complete the picture that he is painting with his words. The imagery in this poem is overflowing with emotion and Jeffers uses very thoughtful words and phrases in this poem to get his point across.I think that he probably wrote this poem at a point in his life when he was let down, or even little bit depressed because as a reader of this poem I can really understand what state of mind he was in when he wrote this poem.

Keep pushing yourself to read for a poem's true meaning. What is Jeffers's hope? What does he want for humanity? How does it relate to music?
