I like this poem for it represents to the picture of the man who stood to
see everything around him and explain the ideas which he has captured

Although I am not sure if Apollo was driven by love, lust or ego; By taking
a piece of her soul (a bow from the laurel) and placing it atop his head
Apollo was able to hold Daphne near (a crown/wreath of laurel honoring his
love for her). Love is complex with no defined boundries but many
degrees/levels...Yet there are rules of engagement, making it not only
wonderful but incredibly scary.

My search led me here...interesting perspectives on this poem...it paints a
picture of a relationship that transcends all other realms of understanding
and acceptance.

I love this poem..... I too desire loves unkown, as i too pursue
unquenched. Sad Story of Apollo.

good poem, filled with tons of sexual symbolism, reads easy and is written
by what i think one of the best american writers.
