I found these poems to be very dark, as they describe the inevitable night approaching. There was a lack of hope and time as the flooding dark about their knees approached. Mark Strands essay connected with these poems because they put his feelings of mortality down on paper. I can relate to these poems because every time I talk to someone older than me, they always tell me to enjoy my time now because it goes by fast. It feels like just yesterday I was a freshman, so like these poems and essay I'm worried about "Times winged charriot hurrying near" and hopefully I can make the best of my time on earth.
