K. MCB, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: You exquisite chunk of mud Last Line: Even become dust on occasion. Subject(s): Mud | ||||||||
You exquisite chunk of mud Kathleen -- just like any other chunk of mud! -- especially in April! Curl up round their shoes when they try to step on you, spoil the polish! I shall laugh till I am sick at their amazement. Do they expect the ground to be always solid? Give them the slip then; let them sit in you; soil their pants; teach them a dignity that is dignity, the dignity of mud! Lie basking in the sun then -- fast asleep! Even become dust on occasion. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CELEBRATION by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS 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 |
