Pan's root quest after a nymph widens into a probing of the basic riddle of human ambivalence. The ultimate poetic interest is in the obedience man pays this inescapable challenge flung at his anguished consciousness. Pan's fugitive act is part of this final obedience. He disobeys only in order to be able at last to render obeisance with the full participation of his conscious and rational self. Somehow it is the renegade who finally wins the appropriate gesture, the correct stance, the healing rubric. But it is also the renegade who does not, despite all his ramblings, desert the ground of factual reality. Somewhat like Antaeus, his invincibility derives from constant touch with the elemental nourishment upon which his imagination feeds the human and natural reality that constitutes his ambience, the ordinary humdrum world of things and common tensions. This was how pan, in Antaeus fashion, contained rather successfully the tormenting teasing of desire, rendering them pliant to the more clear-seeing domination of the mind. --From the back cover
