THE POWER HOUSE, by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Every day I go past Last Line: Or the walt whitman flywheel! Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
EVERY day I go past The power house on Ludlow Street. I look in the open windows And see the great dynamos on their shelves. They have power enough To jazz the earth And throw the planets out of step, But they make no sound. I saw a girl with shell goggles Dusting some of them, unterrified By her proximity To such dangerous engines. Look out, child, look out! Don't get too near the Bernard Shaw circuit-breaker Or the Walt Whitman flywheel! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY ANIMAL CRACKERS by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY |
