Abstract
The article offers criticism of the poems by Robert Brooke. Brooke's description of the sensations of viewing the Rockies in one of his travel papers is provided. His poems reflect his view of life as a fleeting, restless, dizzying, rapturous and evanishing experience. The article notes that Brooke's poetry is concerned with the fruits of existence and not its flowers.
