WHITE, by JAMES HARRISON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: To move into it again, as it was Last Line: To look again at the reflection of her huge eye in water. Alternate Author Name(s): Harrison, Jim Subject(s): Cows; Water; White (color) | ||||||||
To move into it again, as it was, the cows rattling in black stalls, lowing beneath the wind, the elm against the barn, thrashing there as shadow, all loose boards creaking, the moon drawn, pushed rolling white by wind and fat, bone white snow-and-flour white white white moving into the puddle by the lilacs, whiter there, rippling white beneath dark green twisting petals. To be silvered by her as the barn, the grass, the manure pile, the lilacs, to look again at the reflection of her huge eye in water. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MARILYN MONROE WHOSE FAVORITE COLOR WAS WHITE by MADELINE DEFREES FEBRUARY: THE BOY BREUGHEL by NORMAN DUBIE WEDDING CAKE by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE MY CRYSTAL BRIDE by WILLIAM EDWARD ADAMS THE TWO FLAMES by ELOISE BRITON NAILSWORTH HILL by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THE IDEA OF BALANCE IS TO BE FOUND IN HERONS AND LOONS by JAMES HARRISON |
