The title image - WRATH OF THE HEAVENS - is quickly dispelled by what can only be called the HEROIC EFFORTS OF HUMANKIND. This poem is one of your most assertive and triumphant expressions of humanity's ceaseless struggle against the hostile forces or events in the world and its dogged insistence on overcoming, even transcending them. As such, it answers some of the questions I had about other recent poems you've written. They deal with details of humanity's struggle, this one is the general overview. It strikes me that IF the Poet Seer would write a poem, this is the kind he would give voice to. Not for him the Poem of Pathos in which the speaker seeks consolation, not for him the Poem of Despair in which the speaker admits failure even while hoping. for a change of fortune.
