Edwin Arlington Robinson Early Twentieth Century
4,254 wordsEllsworth Barnard In Miniver Cheevy, where to Minivers alcohol-eroded mind it is the age and not himself that is out of tune, the terseness of the image is that of a local idiom: He mourned Romance, now on the town, And Art, a vagrant. [. ] There are, however, other poems in which the contribution of form to effect is more obvious; and some analysis of these will throw light on the compositions that are more subtly contrived.
