by C. S. Lewis

The poem is also notable for its exploration of Christian themes, which would become a central focus of Lewis's later works. In conclusion, "Dymer" is a thought-provoking and philosophical narrative poem by C.S. Lewis. It explores themes of identity, purpose, and the struggle between good and evil, and showcases Lewis's skill as a poet and his deep understanding of the human condition.
