Metaphysical dog / Frank Bidart.
Reflects what the poet sees as fundamental in human feeling, what psychologists and mystics have called the "hunger for the Absloute" - a hunger as any physical hunger. This hunger must confront the elusiveness of the Absolute, our self-deluding, failed glimpses of it.
