I can't help but feel his poetry would have been a lot better if he hadn't been as pious or patriotic. Nevertheless there are some beautiful lines in there - "Breakers" is especially beautiful and really evokes the sea! I also likes Helen at the Loom and some parts of opals are lovely. I'll leave you with a few lines from that poem because they're worth being shared;
“So was it with us, I think,
Whose souls were formed on the brink
Of a crater, where rain and flame
Had mingled and show more crystallized."

Damrosch apparently idolized Wagner and it shows. I prefer Laitman, but then I'm a staunch traditionalist as far as plot goes.
