Strings In The Earth And Air Comments

this is a poem about poetry and its affinity to music. The slightly melancholy cadences suggest youthful love, sweet, but actually validated in the Romantic tradition by that same melancholy. There is indeed a sense of the presence of Pan in the identification with nature and landscape: Pan the creative perhaps? but of course in pagan mythology the laurel crown would be Apollo's. So the numinous here is expressed in a minor key...another factor in the overall sense of wistfulness and melancholy.

What is this poem about? Pan?
