Analysis and comments on Many red devils ran from my heart by Stephen Crane

Comment 6 of 6, added on May 15th, 2008 at 6:21 PM.

What a shame and loss to get nothing from this. I interpret it to be about
expressing oneself honestly and truly, and maybe they're devils because
they're the things about ourselves we've never had the courage to face or
admit to, but to struggle to put that "red muck" into words releases,
names, and conquers those facets of our self. What a shame to not enjoy
this, to miss out on all it says. One would have to know nothing about
honest personal writing.

I think the poem has a feeling of relief attached to it. While the speaker
finds writing that way strange, he also is happy to put his thoughts on
paper, or out into the world. They may not be the best of thoughts, but
they are his.

I think this poem is just saying that his work is influenced by something
against God.. like "devils"
