The burning wheel

But to look over the spectrum of his life, we see that in the beginning, his early poems are... obsessed with light and with vision.

And I read from a series of these first two volumes of poetry, The Burning Wheel and Jonah in 1916 and 1917.

And this is a theme that constantly recurs.

And he, in the course of his life, went through at least a half dozen eye surgeries, four to recover his vision, enough to study at Oxford, and then later on he would try that.
