Question

Analysis of the poem "Song of a man who came through" by D.H.Lawrence

Answer 1

, a poem that appears to denote a journey of a mystical nature. Considered to be about transcedence, art and creativity – the present moment like ‘a fine wind’ that passes through, leading to the next line in the creative process – Lawrence takes us throughout the poem from uncertainty and grasping exploration onto at least something a little more concrete, in its references to ‘an exquisite chisel’ and ‘a wedge-blade inserted’, some of the artistic tools which can translate ‘the wonder that bubbles into my soul’ to a tangibility.
