| Summary | "Sword Blades and Poppy Seed" by Amy Lowell is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century. The volume intertwines themes of love, art, nature, and the human experience, presented through a variety of poetic forms and styles, showcasing Lowell's rich artistic influences and her exploration of emotional and sensory landscapes. The opening of "Sword Blades and Poppy Seed" introduces the reader to a night of introspection and the chance encounter of a disheartened poet with an enigmatic old man. As they wander through a misty city, the poet is drawn into a world where words are likened to weapons and dreams. The old man, revealed to be Ephraim Bard, a dealer of words, offers a unique perspective on creativity, suggesting that both poetry and swords serve powerful purposes in expression and existence. The poet grapples with his own struggles, yearning for inspiration amidst the backdrop of vivid imagery and metaphor, as he navigates this peculiar trading of life and creativity—a poignant exploration of artistic endeavor and existential reflection.
