Miscellaneous Poems

Meer over het boek

The narrative introduces a character reminiscent of Ares, noted for his imposing presence, yet reveals him to be a different figure entirely—Ben, who finds solace among the old poets in the shadows of a laurel tree. This juxtaposition highlights themes of identity and the contrast between appearances and reality, as Ben immerses himself in the rich legacy of poetic tradition. The imagery evokes a sense of reverence for the past and the power of poetic expression.
