Danse Russe Analysis

Author: poem of William Carlos Williams Type: poem Views: 16

If when my wife is sleeping
and the baby and Kathleen
are sleeping
and the sun is a flame-white disc
in silken mists
above shining trees,—
if I in my north room
dance naked, grotesquely
before my mirror
waving my shirt round my head
and singing softly to myself:
"I am lonely, lonely.
I was born to be lonely,
I am best so!"
If I admire my arms, my face,
my shoulders, flanks, buttocks
against the yellow drawn shades—

Who shall say I am not
the happy genius of my household?

.: :.

I think the poem is about a man who's in the wrong life. About the inability in our society to express ourselves in unusual ways to the point where we must hide ourselves, express the "ugly" in secret. Because of this the man is lonely, and trying to convince himself that he's happy when he really isn't.
