William Stafford's Traveling Through the Dark

William Stafford's power in the poet's darkness is not only to transform daily scenes into literary portraits but also to incorporate this scene into a potential theme. The only tool that a poet has to use is words. By careful placement and selection of words, poets can hope to express their opinions clearly, but that is not obvious. The common theme of poetry is the power of life, death, or conflict. There are infinite ways to express life and death in different words, so we will not overuse this theme.

William Stafford's "Through the Darkness" poem is like a story about what happened overnight at the beginning of the first quarter. Stafford painted his place, "Wilson River Road" and the "death of deer" that he found. He continues to tell the reader what you normally do when you find dead deer beside the road. He explained that there is a possibility of getting involved in an accident if trying to circumvent the body due to "narrow road". "Salford explains how to cope with a dead deer and tells the reader what happens often on this particular road and it is well known that it is right to push a deer into a canyon "

Another document with a similar potential impact is "Through the Darkness" by William Stafford. This poem details in detail the person who met deer who died on the way many people traveled. The deer was killed by car, but she was pregnant. Her deer is still alive, it warms her side. The man began thinking; he considered his choice, but in the end he decided to oppose to help the deer. Though they may not be related to life and death as "in the darkness", we are often asked to make a tough decision. William Stafford's poet reminds us to remember ourselves and the people around us when making these decisions. The narrator of the poem asked if he would save the deer or roll it from the road and let it die. He believes that other people are driving; this is reflected in the phrase "turn more to make people die."

"- Anthony Sfordford" William Stafford is often forced It becomes a foolish dress for gentleman farmers and weekend nature lovers; it is often said that his work is talking about the most calm poetry on earth, but for me Stafford is his own rebellion.The poet is a poet who lives with nature, even if it can kill people, even if it is wild and calm, it is his It may be because it looks like the inside of the body.
