I don't know if E.A.P. was a believer in Christ Jesus, but I am and when I read a lot of his poems I take them to be speaking of t power of God... Anyone else get what I'm saying? If you do have a good understanding of God try reading them from a Christ-like perspective... Let me know what you think, my e-mail is rachelhargraves@netzero.com, I'm rally interested in hearing what others have to say about this :)

This is one of my favorite poems of all time too! I'm sure it's about his wife (Virginia Clemm, his first cousin) who he married when he was 27 and she was 13. They lived together with her mother, brother and... I forget who... from the time she was 7 too so I'm sure they must have had a crush on each other long before they were married. History says they adored each other. So apparently, she was literally a child when they fell in love and he was a child at heart. The 'Kingdom by the Sea' was Baltimore. He wasted away and died 2 years after she did.

''Of late, eternal Condor years
So shake the very Heaven on high
With tumult as they thunder by,
I have no time for idle cares
Through gazing on the unquiet sky.''
