This exquisite poem about the dilemma of creativity, of an artists yearnings and aspirations, of the meaning of the very vocation he effortlessly professes, deep, overpowering, boundless and requires much skill and has a mystical aura around it yet fulfilling at the end, giving unexpected joys ...the artist is hapless and perhaps overburdened as a vessel, but in the end lucidly admits the superiority of his gifts.

The poem is well structured, succinct,symbolic and resonates with modernist innovations. The title is evocative and the allegory is but openly hidden which adds charming effects to the overall beauty of the poem.
