How graceful can you be!
Walking at such a peaceful pace
As if nothing can ever be hurry
Oh, the Beauty!
How distant can you be!
Giving the Earth an indifferent glimpse
As if nothing can ever persuade you to stay
Oh, the Beauty!
How attractive can you be!
Swinging across the space freely
As if nothing can ever hinder you
Oh, the Beauty!
How freezing can you be!
Talking with needles in your words
As if nothing can ever prove you wrong
Oh, the Beauty!
How lonely can you be!
Staying alone in the palace above the clouds
As if nothing can ever drag you to fall
Oh, the Beauty!
How real can you be!
Or shall I say-
How illusory can you be!
Analysis
The Beauty in this poem is referring to the people who are indifferent and ignorant to the mundane
world. This poem expresses the writers points of view toward this group of people, maybe including herself. However, not all of the remarks made are positive. There are six quatrains in this poem. One of the important features in this poem would be allusion in "Staying alone in the palace above the clouds". The palace here is referring to heaven or heaven like space. It is suggesting people who does not show much engagement in the society, are expected to be found in their own imaginary world where they will feel loneliness.
