THE UNQUIET, by DAVID O'NEIL First Line: He thought to solve Last Line: For its silence. Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness | ||||||||
He thought to solve The unquiet of his heart, In the stillness of solitude; But the ticking of the clock, Penetrated the silence; Then song-sparrows sang In the evergreens at his window; And there came the ache Of a heavily loaded wagon Straining Up the hill; And the voices of things in his room Clamored, Till he sought the noise of the city For its silence. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA THE HONEY BEAR by EILEEN MYLES JASPER by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON DOMESDAY BOOK: HENRY BAKER, AT NEW YORK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
