Analysis and comments on I stood musing in a black world by Stephen Crane

Comment 4 of 4, added on May 5th, 2006 at 8:48 AM.

Crane's perspective on the world is different from that of of the general
majority. Beauty, divinity, and God in that "black world" is something that
he can not fully comprehend or experience, even though he has already seen
a glimpse of it.

it may be that Crane speaks of the inability to attain what one seeks. And
flashes of such desirable things is what motivates the masses. But he may
equally- or in most likelihood - be speaking not of this.

Here I think Crane is writing about his inability to see what everyone else
does. People all over are amazed by God, but Crane sees nothing at all in
this God..he is not amazed.
