The author attempts a synthesis of the fragmentary modern consciousness, "the isolated satyr each man is", into the stream of history. The work is symbolized in his versification. Short broken lines abounding in halting repetition and oxymoron slowly metamorphose into complex organic periods. Duncan relies on a transcendental vision for his idea of order: "there was a covenant made that we call the Age of Gold, the Ancestral design, and this alone governs what endures."
