It is comparing the philosophical/poetic approach of finding meaning in
life to Grishkin's approach of finding it through sex and how in the end
they are both futile. Donne & Webster are poets and the title of this poem
also alludes to the work of another poet.

I like how the poem is put together how he talks about death or hell but i
didnt like the way he ended it with the jaguar that made no cense. But
other then that it was an awsome poem.

A fever of sexual repression and self-loathing dressed up as cultural
commentary. Guaranteed to appeal to adolescents, and catchy to boot.

this poem makes no sense, why is he talking about a the ballet dancer that
he meet in london and what he trying to tell through this poem.

I like the poem. although it is very vintage. it holds a lot of meaning. I
think it can be biblical. Because it talks about limbo aka. hell, and the
devil ( Breastless Creatures Underground leaned back toward a lipless
grin") which makes sense since some of his other poems are like that.

The line from the first stanza, "The Skull beneath the Skin" is also the
title of a crime fiction novel, by PD James. This is immediately conveyed
through the epigraph, which acts as a preface to the responder.
