A Poem that Calls for Diversity of Analysis

In my opinion, the poem "I Vialed the Universe" is a perfect subject for a reader-response interpretation.
I find it one of the most beautiful in AfroAsian literature


I vialed the universe
And laughed at the concentrated Gods.
But the Genie escaped with His halo of riddles.
I pondered anew and unslept.
Thoughts were strange with the strangeness of new towns.
Thoughts were as vast as the unvialed God.
I could not bottle or battle Him.
There: I saw Him mark in the matutinal mist
I surrendered.

Leoncio P. Deriada
