Analysis: W.S Merwin's "To the Soul"
#9
I think you very well may be right, Addy.
He asks "Are you one or several?", which in my mind means polytheism vs monotheism.

What's odd is the title is "To the Soul", yet he seems to be speaking more or less to God.
Perhaps this is because the only way to understand the soul is to ask someone who does, namely God...hmm...

Good analysis addy. I think you've got a penchant for this stuff Tongue
