The last of Summer is Delight [1] Deterred by Retrospect. [2] 'Tis Ecstasy's revealed Review [3] Enchantment's Syndicate. [4] To meet it nameless as it is [5] Without celestial Mail [6] Audacious as without a Knock [7] To walk within the Veil. [8]
Poem 1353 [F1380] "The last of Summer is Delight" Analysis by David Preest [Poem]

The last part of summer to disappear is the delight it causes us, and even that is kept from vanishing by our looking back over it, as we review the ecstasy that was revealed to us and the enchantment that we agreed to respond to, although to expose ourselves to this 'nameless' ecstasy and enchantment without heavenly armour would be as bold as to enter within the Veil of heaven without knocking.
