Classic and Contemporary Poetry
THE SNOWFALL, by DONALD JUSTICE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The classic landscapes of dreams are not Subject(s): Religion; Theology | |||
The classic landscapes of dreams are not More pathless, though footprints leading nowhere Would seem to prove that a people once Survived for a little even here. Fragments of a pathetic culture Remain, the lost mittens of children, And a single, bright, detasseled snow cap, Evidence of some frantic migration. The landmarks are gone. Nevertheless, There is something familiar about this country. Slowly now we begin to recall The terrible whispers of our elders Falling softly about our ears In childhood, never believed till now. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY LOVE'S STRATAGEMS by DONALD JUSTICE WALT WHITMAN by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON SONG OF THE RABBITS OUTSIDE THE TAVERN by ELIZABETH JANE COATSWORTH |
