Any sensitive reader will get a general idea of what it is that haunts the poet, though he may not choose to articulate it to himself or others, for there are probably a hundred ways of doing so, each equally legitimate as the next. I will venture one: the proximity of death. As we grow older, we all become more aware of our mortality. Death is life's only certainty, but it's a certainty most of us would like to keep away from us as long as possible.
