| Summary |
"R.E.H." by R. H. Barlow is a tribute poem written in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1930s. The poem commemorates the life and legacy of Robert E. Howard, the famed creator of the iconic character Conan the Barbarian. It reflects on themes of mortality and heroism, drawing on Howard's imaginative world. In the poem, Barlow portrays Conan as a fallen warrior, a symbol of strength and valor who has met his end beneath a starry sky. The imagery encapsulates the poignancy of Conan's death, emphasizing his love for battle and the inevitable silence that follows. Barlow evokes a sense of nostalgia as he depicts Conan's transition from life to myth, suggesting that while physical conflicts may cease, the legacy of such heroes endures in the realm of dreams and storytelling.
