The poems celebrate the solitary idealist and nonconformist who may not achieve his dreams, but leads the way for others, as in "Self-Slain": "Brother, you were not mad, / As some men say who chart their way with rules; / For you were ever glad, / Searcher of light, scorner of pride-bound schools.."
