STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 5. MARYLAND, by CLARENCE MAJOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Sunlight here is hazy. Builders Subject(s): Maryland | ||||||||
Sunlight here is hazy. Builders made everything the same. I've got fair weather but the high-rise blues. Shopping center on one side, dog run on the other. Give me rolling hills -- not Dulles Airport! Where is the silver spring promised in the name? Yes, the weather is fair -- but what is unfair is the climate.
