  • on Come, Let Us Find by William H Davies, on May 13, 2004
    Im begining to come to the conclution that that Mr.Davies was a dreamer and an idealist. This poem shows just how a dreamer thinks. They know that the world wont change and that what they want isnt something that can exist. But that doesnt stop one from dreaming about something that could be or more or less what you would like it to be.

  • on The Boy by William H Davies, on May 13, 2004
    The inocence of youth! wise words to a younger person these are. Its twisted how only after an older age is attained that one comes the the relization that a youthful childhood is something that you can never get back. In the last two stanzas William shows us that once the eyes of a child are opened to the world, the child can never return to the bliss of childhood.

  • on Truly Great by William H Davies, on May 13, 2004
    The most simple desires are attained by one man in this poem. William seems to be either telling about his fantasy of how he would like to live or maybe its a take on his actual life. To have a lover that would see no other and live in peace is many a mans dream. Money isnt an issue either as in line 7 the fact that the gold is from an inharetence is brought to light. An over all well put together poem.

  • on The Dark Hour by William H Davies, on May 12, 2004
    My first interpretation of this work is that it describes ones lack of understanding of how things can be well yet they can feel so down. In other words depressed. However in reading it again there is definitely a question being asked in between the lines. In line 7 William seems to be asking about life its self, however I believe its not just life that he is asking about but maybe the emotional states that he talks about in lines 9,14,25. Then again the last stanza is quite equipped to be describing death. Line 25 being the hour of death and 26 expressing that death picks indiscriminately and lastly 27 and 28 death happens and you cant perceive it. So my final concept of this poem is that William is expressing his confusion in the matters of death.
