- Title
In the Nature of Things: Jacques Réda, L'Adoption du système métrique.
- Authors
Harrow, Susan
- Abstract
The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "L'Adoption du systeme metrique," by Jacques Reda. It explores the theme of the poem of contemplative self-absorption and abstraction. The structure of the poem wants to apprehend the world, measuring things into objects, elements of nature, and colour. The author provides a critical interpretation of the poem, unfolding a powerful meditation on ageing, on mortality, on remembrance, and on the nature in the world.
