Shaping Time (poem) by Paul Williams on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on July 1, 2005

Brings me back to school field trips to science museums, nose pressed to the glass, wondering, wondering, trying to imagine those long ago days that brought us all to today.

You bring ancient history alive, Paul! The imagery is outstanding. I have arrowheads that are a million years old. My father found them near the river. You can hold them in your hand and literally feel time. Allthough they are valuable, I will never part with them. Thank you...

Splendid visuals in this piece. It reads like a modern Milton--spewing with grandness.

OOOOOOooooo!! This neatly takes the mind to places which, to my shame, I need to consider more often than I do. The Romans have always impressed, of course, with their sophistication, but this puts into perspective the "setting apart" of the mind of man for "higher things" right from the beginning... and look what we've done with it?! Yup - both sides of the coin, good and bad. I'm awed by this. And your treatment of the subject does it justice. You are both reliable witness, articulate commentator and poet, Paul... quite a staggering combination... is this the man who was berueing his lack of purpose just a few days' ago?!... :)) Kate xx
