THE THINKER, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My wife's new pink slippers Last Line: Out of pure happiness. | ||||||||
My wife's new pink slippers have gay pompons. There is not a spot or a stain on their satin toes or their sides. All night they lie together under her bed's edge. Shivering I catch sight of them and smile, in the morning. Later I watch them descending the stair, hurrying through the doors and round the table, moving stiffly with a shake of their gay pompons! And I talk to them in my secret mind out of pure happiness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CORONAL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A GOODNIGHT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A MAN TO A WOMAN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APPROACH OF WINTER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BLIZZARD by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BLUEFLAGS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS COMPLAINT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS DAISY by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS DAYBREAK by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
