Doveglion

Doveglion - meaning Summary

Self Seen Beyond Labels

The poem contrasts looking with a deeper kind of seeing. The speaker is not searching outward or introspecting inward; instead he apprehends himself. That self is not defined by ordinary social labels of anyone or someone, but registered as a noone whose identity paradoxically encompasses everyone. The piece presents selfhood as an immediate, non-objectifying awareness that transforms individual identity into a shared, anonymous humanity.
