The poem code is a simple, and insecure, cryptography cryptographic method . The method works by the sender and receiver pre arranging a poem to use. The sender chooses a set number of words at random from the poem and gives each letter in the chosen words a number. The numbers are then used as a key cryptography key for some cipher to conceal the plaintext of the message. The cipher used was often double transposition cipher transposition . To indicate to the receiver which words had been chosen an indicator group is sent at the start of the message. The method is insecure for, if one message is broken by any means including threat, torture, or even cryptanalysis , future messages will be readable if the source poem has been identified.

It is set in a settlement in Dharavi in India , and it describes the pandemonium that would occur if a huge water Kettle folly were to burst and shower the parched locals with kettle water . The water is described as the voice of a kindly god , silver and a blessing . Religious imagery is used throughout the poem, including the description of the clamouring locals as a Wiktionary congregation congregation . It also uses the word god without the capital letter, and this is of some significance, as it shows there could be more than one god, or that they have lost respect for their god s . The poem has a somewhat surprising ending, even ironic by some terms. While the beginning of the poem projects the image of a godly and almost heavenly gathering, the last stanza gives readers a sudden gruesome image. Alternatively, some see the ending as an extension of the religious imagery with its blinding light and unusual imagery, liquid sun . The excitement of the children shows their innocence they simply enjoy the novelty of the floods of water. This contrasts with the pragmatic desperation of the adults who gather water for future use in any container possible. There is a desperate irony in the arid dryness of the landscape, despite a municipal pipe running perhaps 6 feet under their feet.

The young deities discussed Laws of form, and metre just, Orb, quintessence, and sunbeams. The leader of the speculating young is Uriel, who with low tones and piercing eye preaches against the presence of lines in nature, thus introducing the idea of progress and the eternal return . A shudder runs through the sky at these words, and all slid to confusion . Some commentators for example Whicher have speculated that the poem is autobiographical, inspired by Emerson s shock at the unfavourable reception of the Divinity School Address . F. O. Matthiessen focussed instead on the philosophical content of the poem, arguing that the conflict between the angel doctrine of line and Uriel s doctrine of round is identical to the antithesis of Understanding and Reason which, under different aspects, was the burden of most of Emerson s early essays 74 . The topic of lines and circles has also been discussed by Sherman Paul 18 23 for lines and 98 102 for circles . Robert Frost called Uriel , the greatest Western poem yet in On Emerson . He also alluded to it in A Masque of Reason and Build Soil . Notes Reflist References F. O. Matthiessen American Renaissance literature American Renaissance , 1941.
