STREET SONGS: 3. STATUARY, by WALLACE STEVENS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The windy morn has set their feet to dancing Subject(s): Cities; Statues; Urban Life | ||||||||
The windy morn has set their feet to dancing - The windy morn has set their feet to dancing - Young Dian and Apollo on the curb, Young Dian and Apollo on the curb, The pavement with their slender forms is glancing, The pavement with their slender forms is glancing, No clatter doth their gaiety disturb. No clatter doth their gaiety disturb. No eyes are ever blind enough to shun them, No eyes are ever blind enough to shun them, Men wonder what their jubilance can be, Men wonder what their jubilance can be, No passer-by but turns to look upon them - No passer-by but turns to look upon them - Then goes his way with all his fancy free. Then goes his way with all his fancy free. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THINGS (FOR AN INDIAN) TO DO IN NEW YORK (CITY) by SHERMAN ALEXIE THE CITY REVISITED by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET TEN OXHERDING PICTURES: ENTERING THE CITY WITH BLISS-BESTOWING HANDS by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE CITY OF THE OLESHA FRUIT by NORMAN DUBIE DISCOVERING THE PHOTOGRAPH OF LLOYD, EARL, AND PRISCILLA by LYNN EMANUEL MY DIAMOND STUD by ALICE FULTON |
