"I''ve come from Chaos; I''d return/ To that my former nest.../And as I have been brought to life/ From
rest, I crave for rest!"
Poem where various themes interweave to create a philosophical dream tale. Conceived like a fairy tale in verses Evening Star can be seen as a love story, only that a special one- the love of a superior creature - the Evening Star - for a girl for whom he would be able to give up immortality. Yet, the girl falls in love with a human boy, to whom she feels closer and more attracted than to a cold
immortal.
Beyond the love story there are the philosophical ideas that impress- among them - the unhappy fate of genius in the
common world where he is isolated and not understood. His attempt to change his condition and become common has no chance of success.And this is what the ending stanza of the poem suggests:
"You live in your sphere''s narrowness /And luck rules over you -/ But in my steady world I feel/Eternal, cold and true!".
