Modern Poems

Interpretation of Modern Poems:

1) The Embankment

Once, in finesse of fiddles found I ecstasy,
In a flash of gold heels on the hard pavement.
Now see I
That warmth’s the very stuff of poesy.
Oh, God, make small
The old star-eaten blanket of the sky,
That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie.

➨In the poem ''Embankment' means it's one kind of area who known for homeless people sleeping on the streets and rough area, it's presented the poverty and what's condition of that era and time by this poem,that warmth is what really matters and is what poets should be said about this poem. It is symbolizes fact that the usually seen only at night with the stars. Warmth is not only desired but it's needed for us to live.

2) Darkness

I stop to watch a star shine in the bog-hole 

A star no longer, but a silver ribbon of light.
I look at it, and pass on.

➨Darkness, it's symbolized harsh reality of life and society and many more things. Here poet talk about elements of some things which is lights and sparkle but someone's else support and through their lights means power but it's Life no longer

But who is support it's neither gold but he said silver ribbon means it's also presented harshness and something wrong but goodness always be there, and its going on.

3) Image

 Forsaken lovers,

Burning to a chaste white moon,
Upon strange pyres of loneliness and drought.
➨ In this poem talking about lovers and symbol is white moon. It's shown desires of lovers when moon come oyt it burns lovers they can't meet, their lonlonessl is theee though they are together. Another side we can see thau the condition of modern time and aspects of people, when they are in crowd  but they are alone.

4) In a station of the metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough. ➨ In this poem poet trying to get us his perspective word from apparition suggests the faces are becoming visible suddenly just as fast but it's not really faces they shown dual personality and also ever in a crowded subway we are not known with them this phenomenon.'A bough' word means big tree branch in that meaning it's always wet and black. 5) The Pool Are you alive?  I touch you.  You quiver like a sea-fish.  I cover you with my net.  What are you—banded one? ➨ In this poem deeper meaning in the lines. It's imagery create image in readers mind figures of cast. The mention of the sea and net together evoke feelings of being trapped under the conventions of society and the conflicted thoughts that come with the traditional rules women play as a Wife, Friend , lover and human being but here the net implies a lack of freedom. 6) Insouciance and out of the dreary trenches, Trudging cheerily under the stars,     I make for myself little poems     Delicate as a flock of doves.     They fly away like white-winged doves. ➨Richard Aldington written a poem year after the First world war ended, he describes life in the trenches and how poetry kept him alive and happy. It's light hearted when compared with modern ideals of war poetry. 7) Morning at the Window ➨ The poem is a set of images of poverty and in the morning the poor people are making a sound by plates for breakfast. It's obligation for poor people to go work and till late. It's symbolize poverty and the objectives make the poem an imagist poem. 8) The Red Wheelbarrow ➨ This poem must rely heavily on its visual imagery. The poem merely flippant or perhaps, the poet intends only entertain through images to red and white painting as we read. Poem's one metaphor the wheelbarrow is described as glazed with rainwater that is shinning with a suggestion of hardness. 9) Anecdote of the jar I placed a jar in Tennessee,    And round it was, upon a hill.    It made the slovenly wilderness    Surround that hill. The wilderness rose up to it, And sprawled around, no longer wild.    The jar was round upon the ground    And tall and of a port in air. It took dominion everywhere.    The jar was gray and bare. It did not give of bird or bush,    Like nothing else in Tennessee. ➨ In this poem jar a symbol of civilization and a particular relation between the humanity and nature. It's discriminant open to many various interpretations. It's almost playful feel which is so typical in this way , and nothing liked better than to have his poetry resist the intelligence. In this poem we are left to wonder and all that is man made Which attend against the nature. 10) I .....A leaf falls on Loneliness.... ➨The poem becomes deep and large meaning than the line of the poem...a leaf falls on loneliness... Fall of leaf symbolize the death and it's full stop upon the loneliness and suffering of the life, which is for the Human on that way. In this poem very depth real and hidden meaning of life and poet Very well written in one line a harsh reality of every humans life and also possession.                                                                                                             Thank You.
