STILLNESS, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Heavy white rooves / of rutherford Last Line: And say -- nothing. Subject(s): Silence | ||||||||
Heavy white rooves of Rutherford sloping west and east under the fast darkening sky: What have I to say to you that you may whisper it to them in the night? Round you is a great smouldering distance on all sides that engulfs you in utter loneliness. Lean above their beds tonight snow covered rooves; listen; feel them stirring warmly within and say -- nothing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SONG OF SILENCE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON TANKA DIARY (9) by HARRYETTE MULLEN 7 A.M., A MAN AND A WOMAN by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THIS MORNING, GOD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR A CELEBRATION by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
