Your Hair Be Beautiful Comments

Beauty can be disruptive. A man sees a beautiful woman sitting near him at a concert hall and he won't hear a note of Beethoven's Symphony No.7, because he is so agitated by her beauty, which is physically close but totally inaccessible. How frustrating! But in this poem the beauty appears benign and merely shines. No emotional turmoil within the viewer. There is a symbolic shrine where the admirer can worship beauty with calm devotion but not seek to possess it. That would be sacrilege. And this worship is satisfying, there is no inner struggle - just a feeling of wellbeing.
