Poet Seer Restless From The Crowd Comments

Your third stanza vividly details the life of ordinary experience which moves between work and duty and leisure and abandon, with the heavy thinking set aside as a spoiling of pure pleasure. Those of us who know your faustian character THE POET SEER realize why he can't spend or rather waste his time for long in such vain pursuits. He is too imbued with a sense of mission to relax for long or often. The lost verses are symbolic of his need to pursue something more worthy than temporary pleasure. He could echo the dying Hamlet: ABSENT THEE FROM FELICITY AWHILE AND DRAW THY BREATH IN PAIN. Whether he chose this hard path in life or it was assigned to him as his personal destiny - well, it's probably a mix of Choice and Fate. The important thing is that he willingly embraces his mission, whatever its origins.
