Showing Original Post only (View all)I need someone to interpret a few lines of a poem for me. [View all]
I don't know if anyone has ever used this site but it is for divination. http://www.facade.com/
I use the I Ching which I have studied for about 25 years and Stichomancy which is defined as:
Stich´o`man`cy
n. 1. Divination by lines, or passages of books, taken at hazard.
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, published 1913 by C. & G. Merriam Co.
I don't suggest anyone get involved in it if you have an addictive personality!
Anyway I received an answer at the Stichomancy part and I do not understand how to interpret this poem, or part of a poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson. If someone is good at figuring out poems I would appreciate if they could tell me what these few lines mean.
The Man against the Sky by Edwin Arlington Robinson:
"And like to none that she has known Of other women's other sons, -- The firm fruition of her need, He shines anointed; and he blurs Her vision, till it seems indeed A sacrilege to call him hers.
She fears a little for so much Of what is best, and hardly dares To think of him as one to touch With aches, indignities, and cares; She sees him rather at the goal,"
