Chapter 11:
Of the Passing of the First-Born
O sister, sister, thy first–begotten,
The hands that cling and the feet that follow,
The voice of the child's blood crying yet,
WHO HATH REMEMBERED ME? WHO HATH FORGOTTEN?
Thou hast forgotten, O summer swallow,
But the world shall end when I forget.
SWINBURNE.
"Unto you a child is born," sang the bit of yellow paper that fluttered
into my room one brown October morning. Then the fear of fatherhood
mingled wildly with the joy of creation; I wondered how it looked and
how it felt—what were its eyes, and how its hair curled and crumpled
itself. And I thought in awe of her,—she who had slept with Death to
tear a man–child from underneath her heart, while I was unconsciously
wandering. I fled to my wife and child, repeating the while to myself
half wonderingly, "Wife and child? Wife and child?"—fled fast and
faster than boat and steam–car, and yet must ever impatiently await
them; away from the hard–voiced city, away from the flickering sea into
my own Berkshire Hills that sit all sadly guarding the gates of
Massachusetts.
Up the stairs I ran to the wan mother and whimpering babe, to the
sanctuary on whose altar a life at my bidding had offered itself to win a
life, and won. What is this tiny formless thing, this newborn wail from
an unknown world,—all head and voice? I handle it curiously, and watch
perplexed its winking, breathing, and sneezing. I did not love it then; it
seemed a ludicrous thing to love; but her I loved, my girl–mother, she
whom now I saw unfolding like the glory of the morning—the
transfigured woman. Through her I came to love the wee thing, as it

beautiful he was, with his olive–tinted flesh and dark gold ringlets, his
eyes of mingled blue and brown, his perfect little limbs, and the soft
voluptuous roll which the blood of Africa had moulded into his features!
I held him in my arms, after we had sped far away from our Southern
home,—held him, and glanced at the hot red soil of Georgia and the
breathless city of a hund ...

Response Question Two:
Situation and Setting: The section of today’s analysis deals with What? When? and Where?
Today’s readings, “Daystar,” page 762, “The Beautiful Changes,” page 835, “Summer Storm,” [posted under Poetry link] all deal with situation and setting, as well as word choice. Please read these poems, and post your analysis of these poems, which must include the situation and setting.
Please note the following, which will help you analyze the poem:
Setting: the scene; the basic backdrop of the story, like the location, the year, the season. These are usually factual and describe the scene where the situation takes place. Examples of setting:
· in a forest
· in a clubhouse
· surrounded by lions
· at a cemetery at night
· Talking with another person, Where? When? Why?
· Talking to oneself (soliloquy) Where? When? Why?
·
Situation: describes what is going on within the setting. It is usually dynamic, telling a story of how characters interact with each other (or with the setting). Examples of situations:
· a man and woman are fighting about whether to discipline their children
· the poet loves a woman very much, but she has recently died, and he feels regret for never telling her of his love
Response Question Two (cont’d)
Language: This section deals with - - Word Choice and Order:
In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz,” page 825, the word choice is extremely important. Many people read the poem and think that it is a poem about a young boy having a wonderful time dancing with his father. Others read it as child abuse. What is your opinion, and what words specifically made you think that way?
RITA DOVE
Daystar
She wanted a little room for thinking:
but she saw diapers steaming on the line,
a doll slumped behind the door.
So she lugged a chair behind the garage
5 to sit out the children’s naps.
Sometimes there were things to watch—
the pinched armor of a vanished cricket,
a floating maple leaf. Other days
she stared until she was assured
10 when she closed her eyes
she’d see only her own vivid blood.
She had an hour, at best, before Liza appeared
pouting from the top of the stairs.
And just what was mother doing
15 out back with the field mice? Why,
building a palace. Later
that night when Thomas rolled over and
lurched into her, she would open her eyes and think of the place that was hers
20 for an hour—where
she was nothing,
pure nothing, in the middle of the day.
RICHARD WILBUR
The Beautiful Changes
One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides
The Queen Anne’s Lace1 lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
5 Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you
Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.2
The beautiful changes as a forest is changed
By a chameleon’s tuning his skin to it;
As a mantis, arranged
10 On a green leaf, grows
Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves
Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows.
Your hands hold roses always in a way that say ...

- 2. The Great Water Giant The Great Water Giant Has finished his bath. He pulls the huge plug Out of the clouds. He roars his thunderous laugh And a wet slippery waterfall Spills out of a squelchy sky. ‘Look out below’ he seems to shout as the water Splooshes, splashes, plishes, ploshes, gushes, siushes, And soaks deep into the thirsty earth. by Ian Souter
- 3. Jack Frost Look out! Look out! Jack Frost is about! He’s after our fingers and toes; And all through the night, The gay little sprite Is working where nobody knows. He’ll climb each tree, So nimble is he, His silvery powder he’ll shake. To windows he’ll creep And while we’re asleep Such wonderful pictures he’ll make. Across the grass He’ll merrily pass, And change all its greenness to white. Then home he will go And laugh ho, ho ho! What fun I have had in the night. By C.E. Pike
- 4. Daffodowndilly She wore her yellow sun- bonnet, She wore her greenest gown; She turned to the south wind And curtsied up and down. She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head, And whispered to her neighbour: "Winter is dead." by A.A. Milne
- 5. The Windmill Behold! a giant am I! Aloft here in my tower, With my granite jaws I devour The maize, and the wheat, and the rye, And grind them into flour. I look down over the farms; In the fields of grain I see The harvest that is to be, And I fling to the air my arms, For I know it is all for me. I hear the sound of flails Far off, from the threshing-floors In barns, with their open doors, And the wind, the wind in my sails, Louder and louder roars. I stand here in my place, With my foot on the rock below, And whichever way it may blow I meet it face to face, As a brave man meets his foe. And while we wrestle and strive, My master, the miller, stands And feeds me with his hands; For he knows who makes him thrive, Who makes him lord of lands. On Sundays I take my rest; Church-going bells begin Their low, melodious din; I cross my arms on my breast, And all is peace within. by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
- 6. SNOW AND SNOW by Ted Hughes Snow is sometimes a she, a soft one. Her kiss on your cheek, her finger on your sleeve In early December, on a warm evening, And you turn to meet her, saying "It’s snowing!" But it is not. And nobody’s there. Empty and calm is the air. Sometimes the snow is a he, a sly one. Weakly he signs the dry stone with a damp spot. Waifish he floats and touches the pond and is not. Treacherous-beggarly he falters, and taps at the window. A little longer he clings to the grass-blade tip Getting his grip. Then how she leans, how furry foxwrap she nestles The sky with her warm, and the earth with her softness. How her lit crowding fairylands sink through the space-silence To build her palace, till it twinkles in starlight — Too frail for a foot Or a crumb of soot.
- 7. Then how his muffled armies move in all night And we wake and every road is blockaded Every hill taken and every farm occupied And the white glare of his tents is on the ceiling. And all that dull blue day and on into the gloaming We have to watch more coming. Then everything in the rubbish-heaped world Is a bridesmaid at her miracle. Dunghills and crumbly dark old barns are bowed in the chapel of her sparkle. The gruesome boggy cellars of the wood Are a wedding of lace Now taking place.
- 8. Tractor The tractor rests In the shed Dead or asleep, But with high Hind wheels Held so still We know It is only waiting, Ready to leap – Like a heavy Brown Grasshopper. by Valerie Worth
- 9. City Jungle Rain splinters town. Lizard cars cruise by; their radiators grin. Thin headlights stare – shop doorways keep their mouths shut. At the roadside hunched houses cough. Newspapers shuffle by, hands in their pockets. The gutter gargles. A motorbike snarls; Dustbins flinch. Streetlights bare their yellow teeth. The motorway’s cat-black tongue lashes across the glistening back of the tarmac night. Pie Corbett
- 10. Fog The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbour and city on silent haunches and then moves on. by: Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)
