AT POINTE DE ROMPE TALON, by CLARENCE MAJOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A woman sits on the one rock | ||||||||
A woman sits on the one rock white as her body. She gazes out to the tuna-fishing silence of the early morning watercolor with its sloshing and response. She is far away from herself: not a hysterical uterine, not Leda peaceful after flooring the swan. Sea foam is not her counterpoint. Sea motion is not her metaphor.
