perfect title

I hit upon Edwin Arlington Robinson’s beautiful and powerful poem “Ben Jonson Entertains a Man From Stratford,” a philosophical and critical monologue in the grand manner which I have read, I imagine, at least thirty times, and then I read again Robinson’s “The Man Against the Sky,” a poem with so perfect a title that you foreknow all it will contain.
