Volcanoes Be in Sicily
Volcanoes Be in Sicily - meaning Summary
Volcanoes Near the Self
The poem notes distant volcanoes but shifts their force inward: the speaker claims geographic authority yet feels volcanic energy nearby. Ordinary maps give way to a personal readiness to "climb" a lava step or "contemplate" a crater, turning global phenomena into intimate possibility. It imagines catastrophe or passion as close at hand, domesticating Vesuvius into a local, psychological presence rather than a remote spectacle.
