I found this poem first lovely, then delightful, and then hilarious. Longfellow encapsulates exactly what the artist does--zero to sixty from muse to the heights of the consequence of real symbols! Seriously - he goes from the delight of rain to--suddenly, dramatically, excessively-- death, heaven, and the heights of existence.
I do love the poets--all of them (us) a bit crazy.
