...Tirzah" was put into the Songs of Experience by Blake, ten years after the rest of the poems were compiled. At first, the poem seems out of place because of its explicit metaphysical concerns and its lack of concrete visual images. However, the poem raises an essential question that mystics have been asking themselves for a long time. Granted both Blake's and Ginsberg's belief in the illusory nature of the universe, and the transience of the ego in any one incarnation, how then does one relate to other men and society?

...solution was planning, a specialty of the Pei office. Henry Cobb, partner in charge, started by creating a visual frame. He designed a poplar-lined road that traces an almost complete circle from a cluster of old buildings to the outermost playing fields and back again.

The attempts at drama and narrative, as in a cycle called Pictures of the Past, are crude caricature. But there is no arguing with the visual poetry of the performance. The Moiseyev dancers offer great spectacle rather than great art-but that spectacle comes breathlessly close to perfection...
