A situation humans often feel engaged into.To have the conciousness of it is the first step to get out of it.The tragic lot of humans to know is his weapon to fight against it.
I revere and love Greek Tragedy: it has shaped my view of literature for my whole life. Even Shakespeare I read in the context of Sophocles, Euripides, et al. Your comment is imbued with the experience of Attic Tragedy and I am appreciative my poem deserves the adjective TRAGIC. But my writing is only the foothills before the mountain of Greek Tragedy. And that is enough- to be in sightof their achievement.
Oh Daniel, I feel so sad when i read this, I hope this is just science fiction but not the true experience of you. 'I do not ask thee into the house. Come into my infinite loneliness.' Tagore I see the extreme loneliness of this homeless man, and he stirs it in every of us and tells us that we human beings share together this deepest similarity.
Thank you for your sensitive comment, Anne, and your wonderful concern for my well being. You express the very compassion that I wanted the character to elicit. And the quotation from Tagore is so beautiful. By connecting sadness with beauty he offers the best consolation.

This is such a wonderful piece of writing. The dilemma of the modern man is put so well. Your writing takes the reader to a higher level. How magically you tell everything. The reader is awestruck. Oh the loneliness of man....the best thing is that you depict it without melodrama. A big 10.
