Pan, in the Greek Mythology is the God of Wild (wild mountains, rustic tones, impromptus). Pan, by Barret Browning talks about how art is not limited to one section of species.
Explanation:
This poem by Elizabeth Browning talks about how art can be both, constructive and destructive. She tries to explain and emphasize on the same outline by talking about Pan, the God of Wild in Greek Mythology. He is the companion of the nymphs. He is a part human, part animal and also, called a God.
This example of hers shows us the contrast of understanding how music/art cannot be limited or objected to one section of people. It talks about how art can be nurtured, learnt, improvised and enjoyed by everyone and every thing on this planet unlike the myth of Greek which restricts it to beautiful things. She explains that art can be destructive too.
