AGED WOMAN, by MINA LOY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The past has come apart Last Line: Dilation has entirely eliminated your long reality Alternate Author Name(s): Cravan, Arthur, Mrs.; Lowy, Mina Gertrude; Haweis, Stephen, Mrs. | ||||||||
The past has come apart events are vagueing the future is a seedless pod the present pain. Not even pain has that precision with which it struck youth. Years like moths erode internal organs hanging or falling in a spoiled closet. Does you mirror bedevil you? Or is the impossible possible to senility? How could the erstwhile agile and slim self- that narrow silhouette- come to contain this huge incognito- this bulbous stranger- only to be exorcised by death? Dilation has entirely dominated your long reality. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ITALIAN PICTURES: JULY IN VALLOMBROSA by MINA LOY ITALIAN PICTURES: THE COSTA SAN GIORGIO by MINA LOY LOVE SONGS TO JOANNES by MINA LOY THREE MOMENTS IN PARIS: 1.
