    Perhaps one of Canada's best and most celebrated poets, Bliss Carman, was influenced by the works of the American transcendental poets, and his ancestors’ beliefs that God's "truth" can be experienced through natural settings (D.Bentley). It is evident that “Vestigia” was inspired by these ideas. This author’s poem, “Vestigia”, is effective in expressing a very mystical and transcendental idea of finding traces of God in all of Creation. Through the use of beautiful, imaginative imagery, the author presents a serene view of the narrator’s surroundings. The biblical theme of the poem also helps to create a very soft tone throughout in the poem.…

The sky always seems to be hovering above earth, just out of reach, no matter how high humans try to venture. Instead of the black ominously swallowing up the world, it seems to sit contently above. The starlight cuts through the dark, creating an allusion of nearness because of the stars’ unmistakable glow.…
