AFTER A CITY WINTER, by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Hill tops are forms of silence Last Line: And the blue curve of a wing. Subject(s): Cities; Winter; Urban Life | ||||||||
Hill-tops are forms of silence, And sunlight is like skin, And every pine along the cliffs Hushes what I have been, And what I have known. And the quiet Draws me to tingle and throb; And a three-stemmed dogwood in blossom Breaks from me like a sob. There is nothing, and then still nothing (Excepting everything) And I vanish in many white sepals And the blue curve of a wing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THINGS (FOR AN INDIAN) TO DO IN NEW YORK (CITY) by SHERMAN ALEXIE THE CITY REVISITED by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET TEN OXHERDING PICTURES: ENTERING THE CITY WITH BLISS-BESTOWING HANDS by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE CITY OF THE OLESHA FRUIT by NORMAN DUBIE DISCOVERING THE PHOTOGRAPH OF LLOYD, EARL, AND PRISCILLA by LYNN EMANUEL MY DIAMOND STUD by ALICE FULTON |
