Alien Races Featured Books Poems Of Richard Wilbur This book, with the amazingly original title, is a collection of four of Wilbur's earliest books The Beautiful Changes, Ceremony, Things of This World, and Advice to a Prophet. Rather counterintuitively, it begins with the latest book, Advice to a Prophet, and works its way backwards, so that if you read it front to back, you get a sort of anti-development of the young poet.

The story is original and interesting. The actual writing is what captivated me. So witty is the dialogue, so humorous it is at times, that I laughed out loud. It is quite amazing that such ancient text sounds like something you would hear on a sitcom. This is not boring or confusing speech, like in Shakespeare; this is very down-to-earth.

Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq In the Smoking Car The eyelids meet. He'll catch a little nap. The grizzled, crew-cut head drops to his chest. It shakes above the briefcase on his lap. Close voices breathe, "Poor sweet, he did his best." "Poor sweet, poor sweet," the bird-hushed glades repeat, Through which in quiet pomp his litter goes, Carried by native girls with naked feet. A sighing stream concurs in his repose. Could he but think, he might recall to mind The righteous mutiny or sudden gale That beached him here; the dear ones left behind ... So near the ending, he forgets the tale. Were he to lift his eyelids now, he might Behold his maiden porters, brown and bare. But even here he has no appetite. It is enough to know that they are there. Enough that now a honeyed music swells, The gentle, mossed declivities begin, And the whole air is full of flower-smells. Failure, the longed-for valley, takes him in. Richard Wilbur An interesting poem - not brilliant, but I like the theme, and it's handled well enough. The poem is enjoyable not so much for the imagery as for the tone, which balances humour and warm sympathy nicely, with perhaps a hint of commiseration, and some lovely lines like 'So near the ending, he forgets the tale'. The poem also presents a somewhat wry look at today's rather pervasive success-oriented culture - the very stereotypicality of the character makes the reader realise that a good many people would rather inhabit a comfortable dreamworld than cope with the real one, desiring no better epitaph than 'poor sweet, he did his best'. Links: While this poem has echoes of Thurber's Walter Mitty and Schulz's Charlie Brown, neither analogy is that strong. More interesting is to compare it to Robinson's "Miniver Cheevy", a far harsher look at a similar misfit:

92. Richard Wilbur- Formally Dull! TOP45DES42 This Old Poem 45 The Poets Laureate Special Edition 5 richard wilbur’s Signatures Copyright © by Dan Schneider, 1/19/03. http://www.cosmoetica.com/TOP45-DES42.htm

This Old Poem #45: The Poets Laureate Special Edition #5: Richard Wilbur’s Signatures Will-Bur! ’ was the sound often heard in the old TV sitcom Mr. Ed , bellowing from the titular horse toward his owner, especially when the equus was peeved at him. Of course, Wilbur was a smiling idiot- not too unlike the hero of this opining. Yes, Richard Wilbur was American Poet Laureate from 1987-1988. So what? Signatures False Solomon's Seal— So called because it lacks a Star-scar on the heel, And ends its arched stem In a spray of white florets Later changing them To a red, not blue, Spatter of berries—is no Falser than the true Solomon, who raised The temple and wrote the song, Wouldn't have dispraised This bowed, graceful plant So like an aspergillum, Nor its variant With root duly scarred, Whose bloom-hung stem is like the Bell-branch of a bard. Liking best to live In the deep woods whose light is Most contemplative Both are often found Where mandrake, wintergreen, and Dry leaves strew the ground Their heads inclining Toward the dark earth , one blessing And one divining.

93. Wilbur The PARDON. My dog lay dead five days without a grave In the thick of summer, hid in a clump of pine And a jungle of grass and honeysuckle vine. http://www.etymonline.com/poems/wilbur.htm

home Thomas Gray William Collins William Wordsworth (Surprised by Joy) ... Richard Wilbur The PARDON My dog lay dead five days without a grave In the thick of summer, hid in a clump of pine And a jungle of grass and honey-suckle vine. I who had loved him while he kept alive Went only close enough to where he was To sniff the heavy honeysuckle-smell Twined with another odor heavier still And hear the flies' intolerable buzz. Well, I was ten and very much afraid. In my kind world the dead were out of range And I could not forgive the sad or strange In beast or man. My father took the spade And buried him. Last night I saw the grass Slowly divide (it was the same scene But now it glowed a fierce and mortal green) And saw the dog emerging. I confess I felt afraid again, but still he came In the carnal sun, clothed in a hymn of flies, And death was breeding in his lively eyes. I started in to cry and call his name, Asking forgiveness of his tongueless head. ..I dreamt the past was never past redeeming: But whether this was false or honest dreaming I beg death's pardon now. And mourn the dead.
