STORM CENTRE, by GENEVIEVE TAGGARD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Past noon, past the strong Last Line: Wrestles the air. Alternate Author Name(s): Wolf, Robert Leopold, Mrs. Subject(s): Storms | ||||||||
Past noon, past the strong Hour for full song, -- However late -- Mere silence holds me. Here are met Furious winds, and the great Quiet is desperate. Utterly still they stand locked. Once only the earth rocked With the weakening of one. This is battle, forehead-on. Barbarous singing follows when One triumphs. Now the centre Tightens again, Closes. None enter -- It is silent where Wrestles the air. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STORM AT HOPTIME by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THERE IS A SOLEMN WIND TONIGHT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD DEWEY AND DANCER by JOSEPHINE MILES MICHAEL IS AFRAID OF THE STORM by GWENDOLYN BROOKS BREACHING THE ROCK by MADELINE DEFREES THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE OCEAN by STEPHEN DOBYNS OF POLITICS, & ART by NORMAN DUBIE TREMENDOUS WIND AND RAIN by ANSELM HOLLO THE ENAMEL GIRL by GENEVIEVE TAGGARD A FAT LADY HEARS SHAKESPEARE AT THE CLUB by GENEVIEVE TAGGARD |
