GARDEN, by JAMES HARRISON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Standing at the window at night Last Line: A lord of shadows. Alternate Author Name(s): Harrison, Jim Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Growth; Shadows; Strength | ||||||||
Standing at the window at night my shadow is the length of the garden - I move a huge arm and cause plants to spring up, tomatoes to ripen. My head is as large as a strawberry bed and I can cup two bales of straw in one hand. I take pride in this strength, fed by light and darkness, wielded against my father's garden - a lord of shadows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAN SPLITTING WOOD IN THE DAYBREAK by GALWAY KINNELL RESENTMENT by RICHARD ALDINGTON I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL FRESCOES FOR MR.
