Lament For The Two Brothers Slain By Each Other's Hand Comments

what is the meaning of this poem? ?

....an incredible poem...the last stanza especially ★ To the far strand, The ship of souls, the dark, The unreturning bark Whereon light never falls nor foot of Day, Evan to the bourne of all, to the unbeholden land.

Terrific poem. I have to thank 'poemhunter' for introducing me to this poet. This poem is mighty impressive even in translation, what must have it sounded like in ancient Greece! But, 'Oh, waft with sighs the sail from shore, Oh, smite the bosom, cadencing the oar...' It's difficult to see how even the original Greek could better that.
