| | The poetry of Robert Gray |
 | | Gray's reading, and his careful observation of the physical world, come together in what is widely regarded as his finest poem, which is called "Flames and Dangling Wire". |
 | | Gray's Taoism commits him to the view that the ego is an illusion, and that true happiness is to be found only 'in the contemplation of matter,' a position he associates with Marx. |
 | | Robert Gray seems, at heart, a poet of things, somebody who appreciates the objects of experience but also appreciates their transitoriness, their tendency to disappoint those who want to possess them. |
