Notes About The Poem

The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog (1818) by Caspar David Friedrich shows a lone man standing on a rocky cliff, facing a foggy, mountainous landscape. A key work of Romanticism, it explores solitude, nature’s power, and the mystery of identity, with the man’s back turned to invite reflection.

The Wanderer Footle

grey hush
wind’s crush

fog’s veil
hearts pale

black coat
lost note

thin light
love’s blight

back turned
flames burned
