The Only News I Know
poem 827
The Only News I Know - meaning Summary
Immortality as Daily News
The poem reframes the speaker’s experience as dominated by the reality of eternal life. Everyday reports and spectacles are replaced by constant bulletins from immortality; encounter and passage are described in terms of God and existence. The speaker implies that temporal news and entertainments are secondary, and promises to report any genuinely new or admirable developments beyond the eternal perspective.
