Analysis and comments on Candle Hat by Billy Collins

Comment 1 of 1, added on September 24th, 2008 at 8:36 PM.

I vaguely recall the painting. I recall Picasso posing in a similar hat
for a black and white photo. It amazed me, but this loving poem amazes me
more. I can feel so exactly what it would feel like to wear a hat of
candles. So simple and profound.
