THE HUNTER, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In the flashes and black shadows Last Line: And become fast to a twig again. | ||||||||
In the flashes and black shadows of July the days, locked in each other's arms, seem still so that squirrels and colored birds go about at ease over the branches and through the air. Where will a shoulder split or a forehead open and victory be? Nowhere. Both sides grow older. And you may be sure not one leaf will lift itself from the ground and become fast to a twig again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CORONAL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A GOODNIGHT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A MAN TO A WOMAN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APPROACH OF WINTER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BLIZZARD by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BLUEFLAGS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS COMPLAINT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS DAISY by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS DAYBREAK by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
