butterworth/housman
-the friend and the dead friend catch up on how things are going. the living man comforts the dead by letting them that all is fine and that they can rest in peace. the dead prods with deeper and deeper questions until the person narrates that he is the lover of the newfound "widow" of the dead. Using the theme of the beauty of the natural world, the poet is expressing the view that we should seize every opportunity to experience life in all its beauty. Because of its lighthearted tone (especially notable because of the riddle-like second stanza), this is an optimistic poem despite a reference to the shortness of man’s tenure in the world. The poem's briefness, short lines, and simplicity remind us that life is short; they urge us to speed. |

David Chatterton, "Devon Scene" (1942)
It has been suggested that the trees referred to in the poem are the trees that Hardy planted around Max Gate, the house that he built at Dorchester in Dorset. When Hardy and his first wife Emma moved into the house, the land surrounding it was mostly bare of trees. J. O. Bailey, The Poetry of Thomas Hardy: A Handbook and Commentary (University of North Carolina Press 1970), page 291.
According to The Early Life of Thomas Hardy (the authorship of which was credited to Hardy's second wife Florence, but which was in fact mostly written by Hardy): "Some two or three thousand small trees, mostly Austrian pines, were planted around the house by Hardy himself, and in later years these grew so thickly that the house was almost entirely screened from the road, and finally appeared, in summer, as if at the bottom of a dark green well of trees." |

Using the example of the storm, she makes this point: no matter what Nature throws at us, the world still endures. So despite the catastrophe we are left with a sense of wonder. |

jake heggie
char: begins with a simple song chord to begin it. then it has bumblebee buzzing sounds . sounds like a journey. chunky. very higher, no where near mezzo. music sound likes a swing, and stops with Bernstein(simple song) chords. Repeated phrases of the vocal line. simple accompaniment. disjunct movement. with M3 being intoned. piano is mostly homophonic withg the voice.
about: I tell someone that if they would be coming in the next season(fall) I would be done with summer, if a year,forget about all these darn months, if centuries, I'd try to rush time in any case it was. But since I don't know when I'll see you again, it ikills.
This is a poem about love, time and separation. It is addressed to and is about someone who is away. The usual assumption is that the speaker is a woman, because of the domestic metaphors (the housewife and the fly, the balls of yarn), because the writer was a woman, and, I think, because it is traditionally women who wait. |
