What is your interpretation of this poem?

Question

I'm interested in knowing what this means to other people...

Life is eternal

And love is immortal

And death is only a horizon

And a horizon is nothing

Save the limit of sight

--Rossiter Worthington Raymond

Answer 1

Death is one grain of sand and life is a beach.

Answer 2

Love is important.  It lasts beyond the life of a body.

We cannot see beyond death.  But love can.

Answer 3

To me it's kind of saying that.......shoot this is hard to explain.

Well people think about things wayy too much...like is there a god? What is beyond the stars? How did we end  up here? Why is there a past, present, future and why can't we return to the past or step forward to the future?? . . . . . . ....

It's saying that there is everything and there is nothing. We will never get explanations for the unknown so don't question it. There will always be questions with no answers, so save your breath.

Answer 4

I guess to me.

It would be

Don't be afraid of death and think it's the end, because there's so much more.

And so much more you could spend your time thinking about.

Answer 5

Wow I eally liked it.

I see in that poem..

that life doesn't necesary ends up when a person dies... Life might be forever, and death it's just one limit, that doesn't end it =)

Answer 6

i don't like poetry that much, but this is one of those 'how i see life' sort of interpretations.

since it is so short, whatever it is included, life, love and death, are considered to be important.

i liked the last lines, because it shows that you can 'see' such things, therefore understand them. if you don't understand love and lie, death would be meaningless :)

there you go!
