NO PLACE OR TIME, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: This curly childhood of the year Last Line: That knows no place or time. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Time | ||||||||
This curly childhood of the year, These days of dancing blood Is Spring the proper time for breath To be resigned for good? When Summer's face is bright and clear, And all the trees are green Shall I believe the time has come To creep away unseen? When Autumn shuffles leaves of gold, And deals them in one heap Must I agree that that's the hour For everlasting sleep? And when the world is white with snow, With Winter in his prime I'll still maintain that Death's a fool, That knows no place or time. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELEVEN EYES: FINAL SECTION by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: COME OCTOBER by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN SLOWLY: I FREQUENTLY SLOWLY WISH by LYN HEJINIAN ALL THE DIFFICULT HOURS AND MINUTES by JANE HIRSHFIELD A DAY IS VAST by JANE HIRSHFIELD FROM THIS HEIGHT by TONY HOAGLAND A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
