The components of the poet's heart surprise me in a good way: love, pity and lace suggest a variety of possibilities,
everything from romantic love through the experience of tragedy to the glittering life. I can envision poets who are on the cutting edge of the troubadour tradition extolling the beloved as she appears dressed in lace and silk. Or of a tragic poet like Euripides lamenting the common fate of humanity. Or a Sandra Feldman celebrating the simple and complex beauties of the world in which we love and thrive.
