From a review by Jack A Urquhart: Bell wrote the collection’s final poem a mere six weeks before his death. Entitled “Silent Vigil” (by the editor; several of Bell’s poems were untitled), the poem is steeped in the traditions of romanticism. I count it the most moving and the most transcendent of the lot. As a writer, I like to think that the reason the poem resonates is that it leapfrogs grim realityーthe cold, hard fact that none of us lasts forever (which Peter anticipates for himself in the poem’s first few lines)ーto provide a glimmer of hope. That hope is nothing less than love’s enduring legacy, a messageーPeter’s message, in this caseーso durable, so generic (in the best sense of that word) that as long as there is language and human beings to appreciate it, will comfort and sustain as well a thousand years from now as it does today.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
