The Bronze David of Donatello- Randall Jarrell

This poem is descriptive, to say the least. It is written as if the curator of an art museum was providing a personal tour. It is actually a pretty good poem, even though it seems to drag on somewhat painfully slow.
The imagery is definitely there. The imagination and insight are somewhat lacking because it does not really draw as much on the author's concepts as it does the artist's sculpture. That being said, the author did a relatively good job of conveying his points, even if they were somewhat bland. Overall, this piece was somewhat boring, but it seems to have accomplished the goals of the author fairly adequately.
