Analysis and comments on The Avowal by Denise Levertov

Comment 1 of 1, added on October 1st, 2005 at 4:18 PM.

All the metaphors operate in the same direction. If you wish to achieve
grace, the message is don't try. Be open and willing. It is like a
surgeon keeping his hand still by not trying to keep it still.
