Edna's approach

"A poignant, yet hopeful lament over a dying metaphysic, upon which a bleak sun rises once again. Elegiac in the mode of enigmatic Old English works such as "the Wanderer" or "The Seafarer", the poem enacts its own collapse, and the collapse of the assumptions which sustained it, forcing them to their logical conclusion in the conclusion of their own logic, yet salvaging from the hermeneutical detritus a new and an Other logic." (Edna.)
