Lewis is a narrative poem written in the early 20th century. The work follows the life of Dymer, a character born into a puritanical society known as the Perfect City, where freedom and spontaneity are restricted. The poem explores Dymer's awakening to a deeper understanding of life and love, as well as the emotional and spiritual turmoil that comes with breaking free from societal constraints. The opening of "Dymer" introduces us to the protagonist, Dymer, who struggles against the strictures of his environment as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. We learn about his upbringing in the Perfect City, characterized by laws that govern personal relationships and emotions. During a mundane lecture, Dymer has a moment of liberation that results in a violent act, leading him to flee the confines of the city. As he embraces nature, he strips away the garments of societal expectations and revels in his newfound freedom, both physically and spiritually. The narrative hints at a complex interplay of desire, identity, and societal pressure that sets the stage for Dymer's forthcoming adventures and challenges.
