The sound of the weather is really cool

Recommended Posts

out of every weather extreme we can have wind is the one i hate/dread the most, wondering how much it is going to cost when the fence blows over

This house has been far out at sea all night,

The woods crashing through darkness, the booming hills,

Winds stampeding the fields under the window

Floundering black astride and blinding wet

 

Till day rose; then under an orange sky

The hills had new places, and wind wielded

Blade-light, luminous black and emerald,

Flexing like the lens of a mad eye.

 

At noon I scaled along the house-side as far as

The coal-house door. Once I looked up -

Through the brunt wind that dented the balls of my eyes

The tent of the hills drummed and strained its guyrope,

 

The fields quivering, the skyline a grimace,

At any second to bang and vanish with a flap;

The wind flung a magpie away and a black-

Back gull bent like an iron bar slowly. The house

 

Rang like some fine green goblet in the note

That any second would shatter it. Now deep

In chairs, in front of the great fire, we grip

Our hearts and cannot entertain book, thought,

 

Or each other. We watch the fire blazing,

And feel the roots of the house move, but sit on,

Seeing the window tremble to come in,

Hearing the stones cry out under the horizons.

 

Ted Hughes - Wind

 

I remember studying this poem for my GCSE English Literature exam almost 11 years ago.

For me, I feel that the weather helped those who tried to steal my car last night decide that it would be a good time to attack: when it was so noisy they wouldn't get caught. Now I'm left to pick up the pieces and repair the damage theyve done

I studied it at A Level 8 years ago. Feels like yesterday!
