what is the main idea of the poem​

Answer 1

Answer:

As the poets sits pondering his past work and his career, an eerie specter appears. He learns that this is the "the genius of poets of old lands," whom he describes as "terrible in beauty, age, and power." The genius observes the poet as he reflects on his past and asks him menacingly, "what singest thou?" There is only one theme for "ever-enduring bards," the phantom claims, and that theme is war. Only the words of poets who write about war can ever stand the test of time. The poet responds proudly that he does write about war, but a much grander and longer war than any other poet has ever attempted to address. This poet writes about the whole world, which is a battlefield encompassing struggles between life and death, body and soul. This is what sets him apart, and what will allow his words to endure.
