An essay like this is almost (almost) as much a pleasure to me as the poetry it's about. The unexpected parallels, the turns that seem to lead the reader outward but unexpectedly turn in -- it's a model for anyone who writes about literature, and it enriches anyone's reading experience. It takes me back to the poetry with increased appreciation. That's what writing about literature ought to do but rarely does. Thanks to Tim for posting it -- and to Dave for writing it.
