Talk:The Clod and the Pebble

Analysis
There really should be an analysis of the poem. This need further developing and this is just a thought:

It links the the images of lovers with manipulative characteristics. The "Clod" is a selfless symbol that gives love to others, but suffers a inner-turmoil where it is manipulated; the "Pebble" is a selfish symbol that attempts show love to others, but as a result manipulates others and "bind[s] another to its delight".

The depictions of these two symbols representing lovers is signified by the diptych structure, where the first stanza is denotes a altruistic character, shown by "Love seeker not itself to please". Conversely, the third stanza is constructive towards a narcissistic character, shown by "Love seeketh only itself to please".
