I think “Yet do I Marvel” is the best poem because although it was quite difficult to understand at first, it became rather interesting after reading it several times and analyzing each allusion/verse. I liked the way Countee Cullen used mature language in order to put forward what he was trying to say, as it is the type of poem that really makes you think. “Yet do I marvel at this curious thing” is a good example of this language because instead of saying: “this is what I think”, he used strong words to communicate the way he feels about what he’s trying to say. In addition, I believe that his allusions were more descriptive in that they didn’t leave us trying to guess what they were referring to, but were rather explained throughout parts of the poem: “Make plain reason tortured Tantalus is baited by the fickle fruit”.
