THE DOOR IN THE DARK, by ROBERT FROST Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In going from room to room in the dark Last Line: With what they used to pair with before Subject(s): Sight | |||
In going from room to room in the dark, I reached out blindly to save my face, But neglected, however lightly, to lace My fingers and close my arms in an arc. A slim door got in past my guard, And hit me a blow in the head so hard I had my native simile jarred. So people and things don't pair any more With what they used to pair with before. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PERSPECTIVE by MARGARET AVISON I TAKE MY GLASSES OFF by LUCILLE CLIFTON EYE AND TOOTH by ROBERT LOWELL SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: DIPPOLD THE OPTICIAN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FREED FROM ANOTHER CONTEXT by ELEANOR WILNER TIME IS SOME SORT OF HINDSIGHT by ROBERT CREELEY NAMING THE CATARACTS by MADELINE DEFREES SYMPATHETIC MAGIC by ALBERT GOLDBARTH |
