Summary "Behind the Arras: A Book of the Unseen" by Bliss Carman is a collection of poems written in the late 19th century. This work reflects the themes of imagination, memory, and the interplay between the seen and unseen, capturing the essence of human experience and emotional depth. The poems within this collection explore a range of contemplative subjects, often addressing the nature of existence and the ephemeral quality of life. Through metaphorical language and vivid imagery, Carman reflects on the connections between the self and the other, the physical world and the spiritual realm, and the transient nature of time and its effects on memory and love. Each poem, from "The Moondial" to "Exit Anima," invites readers to ponder the mysteries of life and the beauty found within both joy and sorrow, proving to be a rich tapestry that resonates with the quest for understanding amidst the unseen forces that shape our lives.
