A wondeful poem with an appropriate title. 'How hushed it is, the stage as well as the audience; it seems breathing is an intrusion' - how poetically described, truly of a Nobel laureate poet! " And it seemed to him the pale and lovely summoner out there smiled at him and beckoned..." - from where are these quoted lines taken? Heartiest congratulations on your poem’s selection as the ‘Modern Poem of the Day’!

A pleasant narration of summer and memoirs attached with it reminded by the photograph of poet's mother. A well deserved modern poem of the day.

I held the book awhile. It was Death in Venice (in translation) : I had noted the page in case, as Freud believed, nothing is an accident. ....//// an excellent poem penned; by reading this it seems I am also on the summer garden; yeah; the Freud was right, I think so that " Nothing is an accident" . Every accident has history before its happening. For any irrational incident the accident comes out on own path; great poem penned; I enjoyed

I just would say it happens very often to read a poem about the grass and trees in the country, (this is not permitted to everyone)) when you are sitting in your own garden just facing to the high moving trees. S.Freud has written a lot, but we cannot say that whe recall what he has said about reality. Here, Venice is the important point.
