Near the Wall of a House
Near the Wall of a House - meaning Summary
Vision and Human Return
The poem presents fleeting, intimate revelations: a mundane wall conjures visions of God, a sleepless night yields inner flowers, and a lost person is restored to humane belonging. Images move from private spiritual sight to compassionate transformation. The closing assertion that "Love is not the last room" extends intimacy into an endless corridor, suggesting continuity beyond romance—ongoing moral and spiritual renewal rather than a final destination.
Read Complete AnalysesNear the wall of a house painted to look like stone, I saw visions of God. A sleepless night that gives others a headache gave me flowers opening beautifully inside my brain. And he who was lost like a dog will be found like a human being and brought back home again. Love is not the last room: there are others after it, the whole length of the corridor that has no end.
