Come to My Cantilations
Come to My Cantilations - meaning Summary
Calling for Communal Renewal
The poem is an invitation to communal song and release. The speaker urges casting aside hatred and urban constraints—pavements and printers—in favor of sun, water, wind and aesthetic fellowship. They welcome beautiful, witty, exultant people and graceful speakers, imagining burnished lakes and air "as clear as metal." The mood is celebratory and desiderative, seeking renewal through shared beauty and spirited company.
Read Complete AnalysesCome my cantilations, Let us dump our hatreds into one bunch and be done with them, Hot sun, clear water, fresh wind, Let me be free of pavements, Let me be free of the printers. Let come beautiful people Wearing raw silk of good colour, Let come the graceful speakers, Let come the ready of wit, Let come the gay of manner, the insolent and the exulting. We speak of burnished lakes, Of dry air, as clear as metal.
