RESOLVED, by DAVID IGNATOW Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Do you love Last Line: It is possible to be happy. Subject(s): Love - Complaints | |||
Do you love? Then you are wretched: you have been hitched to a plow, the ground is hard and dry. It has not rained for forty days and nights. Now pull, sweat and tears will make the soil fertile. Up will spring the wheat of your bitter contribution. Eat with horror and increase of strength. Pride returns in the knowledge of your achievement. It is possible to be happy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TALKING RICHARD WILSON BLUES, BY RICHARD CLAY WILSON by DENIS JOHNSON THE BRIDGE by ALEXANDER ANDERSON THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD MISGIVINGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THROUGH AGONY: 1 by CLAUDE MCKAY HEMATITE HEIRLOOM LIVES ON (MAYBE DECEMBER 1980) by ALICE NOTLEY |
