Isabelle   10 #62 Posted February 4, 2011 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.

fabulous_girl   10 #63 Posted February 4, 2011 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
