At Four In The Morning Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
At Four In The Morning
I cannot find the rest of her poem,
so I write my comment as a poem
I cannot find the rest of her poem,
so I write my comment as a Poem!
'Four in the Morning" by Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell
presents a surreal and fragmented vision of a night-time world.
In this haunting poem,
ethereal figures and inanimate objects come to life,
evoking disorientation and alienation.
Mr. Belaker, the narrator wanders through a strange landscape,
where tropical leaves whisper like water,
white lace houses float away on the tide,
and the allegro Negro cocktail-shaker
questions existence and loss.
The dreamlike imagery invites readers
to explore the boundaries between reality and imagination,
capturing the eerie essence of that early morning.
I cannot find the rest of her poem,
so I write my comment as a poem!
I Hope you will eventually get to read the rest of her poem and share your impression again! ..
Truly fascinating and filled with such wonder and awe! .. Endless 10'S And Stars! ..+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And wondering were you eventually able to find the rest of her poem?
Thank you, my friend, for sharing this wonderful poem. To my favorites.
The interplay between reality and fantasy is indeed very provoking. The crystalline images embedded in the poem make a reader at close range with the depicted moments. A great read indeed!
Cont.. A disorienting style that provoke and fuel the mind to dig deeper into the thoughts of the Poet and probably fathom what is beyond the poem.
The title and the provoking opening lines of the great Poetess' poem drew me to search the aforementioned poem of Dame Sitwell and delved into the thoughts of the brilliant author. A very powerful poem indeed!
This wonderful poem captures my attention and fuel innermost desire to read the whole poemo of Dame Edith Sitwell. I love how the great Poetess built this poem out of her comments on the poem. A very, very clever thought.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
