Summary: Brief, indispensable insight into the Romantics & Moby Dick
Comment: It's a quick read, but a rich one: expect to pick it up again every few years if your soul's not dead. The century's finest poet (and one of its most interesting critics) traces the symbols of Sea and Desert through in the poems and novels of the Romantic reaction (especially Moby Dick) with an eye to understanding these works and their unique understanding of the relation of mind to heart in the modern age. Fascinating not only for what it tells us about the Romantics and about Auden's own work (readers of "the Sea and the Mirror" simply must read this) but for the example it gives of an intellect attempting to discuss the trials of modernity without affecting its fatalism and disjointedness. A fine introduction to the Romantics, to Auden, and to the life of the mind. (also a dead-on key to the lyrics of They Might Be Giants, but I digress.)
