@8eef5a3b, thank you for the book recommendation, I will definitely check it out! When I say "unknown being," I'm referring to the idea that things that are unknown to us can seem like they belong to a different category or realm of existence than things that are known to us. For example, encountering a deer in the woods might make us feel like we are encountering something that is fundamentally different from ourselves, because we don't know what it's thinking or feeling. This sense of difference or otherness can be both exciting and unsettling, and I think the poem is trying to capture some of that feeling. Does that make sense?
