Wilbur's "The Pardon" is the only poem of his that I think is powerfully emotional. It's a great poem, my favorite of his. Though the quieter emotion of poems like "Love Call Us to the Things of This World" is (for me) hard to deny. The soul descending to accept the waking body is original and works for me quite well. Hecht, on the other hand, I've never been able to bond with. Would Hecht fans please single out one or two starter poems that might hook me?
