CHINOISERIE by BABETTE DEUTSCH

Poet Analysis

First Line: A CLOUD OF SHIVERING SILVER
Last Line: THE SKY IS A GLOWING POPPY, ALL UNFURLED.
Subject(s): CLOUDS; WEATHER; WIND;
A CLOUD of shivering silver:
The aspen in the wind.
Gold foil, the river leaping under sun.
The moth-moon shyly showing, on slender jade impearled;
The sky is a glowing poppy, all unfurled.
