Quot Quot Phrase Quot
3,237 wordsDavid Kalstone " An Urban Convalescence" is designed to act out a false start and implicitly to suggest a search for more revealing and durable images. What he appears to be learning to do is to disentangle his own needs and style from the clich? s of the world of fashionable destruction a clarification of feeling signalled in the crisp rhymed quatrains [at the end of the poem: Kalstone cites the last stanzas].

Quot Quot Marianne Moore
5,306 wordsPamela White Has " No Swan So Fine" asserts that there is no live swan, " no swan, / with swart blind look askance / and gondolier ing legs, so fine" as the china one among its finely sculptured and polished flowers in the Louis XV candelabrum. The last half-line of the poem reads, simply and abruptly, " The king is dead. " A way of life that went along with the kings life is also dead.

Quot Quot Dead Quot
7,733 wordsEdward Hirsch Tates most important single poem, " Ode to the Confederate Dead, " is a kind of Southern analogue to The Waste Land.

Quot Quot Nursery Rhyme
4,907 wordsGrover Smith Although " The Hollow Men" is not a mere appendage to The Waste Land, it may most profitably be read as an extension of the same design of quest and failure.

The God, for them, is supreme, " needing nothing outside himself, but...
