Snyder is a little suspect. In one poem titled, "No Matter,Never Mind", he had a family mating within itself to create the mind. The mind, to him, is a twisted creation. He exemplified this by saying that the mind was the spawn of the inter-familial relationships within the Great Mother's own family. It at least seems that way. In another poem, The Great Mother, he speak of life after death. Those that die will walk past the Great Mother to the next life. Some will not undergo scrutiny, for she knows what sort of lives they have led. those that she watches carefully, she knows have committed great sins and atrocities. He believes they cannot escape her gaze. In the third poem, Without, Snyder speak of the power of nature. Whether nature is singing or silent, it holds an unimaginable power that no other being can possess. It is an unparalleled being. In all of this power, nature has continued to remain beautiful.
