註釋

The reference in the title to "a mere word" reflects the fact that literary critics and even Ezra Pound, a great poet himself, have given words per se short shrift in their appraisal of the basic elements of poetry. "Wandering" and other forms derived from the verbs to "wander" and "wandern" are a conspicuous feature of works by great poets, notably Goethe, Wordsworth, William Blake, Milton and Shakespeare, but scholarship has taken scant note of the phenomenon that the occurrences of these words constitute. Surprisingly, noted critics cannot avoid using such words as "Wanderer" themselves. What has so blinkered critics and scholars and prevented them either from getting to grips with the phenomenon of wandering or perceiving that such a phenomenon even exists?
