Early in the poem, he is cursing himself:
"You insufficient phoenix
That has to bake at last in his own ashes --
You kicked out, half-hatched bird of paradise
That had to die before you broke your shell --
Who cares what you would be if you had flown?"
A rather tragic saga of a failed artist, but one who clings to the belief that he had it once:
"Once for an hour my cup was full
With wine that not a hundred if a score,
Have tasted that are told in history."
And the narrator agrees, seeing in him: "the ruin of a potential world shaker." ( )
