Nothing interested him until he found the prince's personal combat field. Arranged in rows of twelve, one hundred forty-four vases stood in the middle of several weapon racks

A Broken Tower, by Hart Crane, is a metaphor-rich poem that is very ambiguous but seems to describe the difficulties of the creative process and the way in which the artist is bound and compelled by it.

Throughout all recorded history, the common experience of the pains of love is shared. Perhaps this has contributed to society’s desire to produce and consume material that relates to this subject.
