Leda Analysis

Author: poem of H.D. Type: poem Views: 10

Where the slow river
meets the tide,
a red swan lifts red wings
and darker beak,
and underneath the purple down
of his soft breast
uncurls his coral feet.

Through the deep purple
of the dying heat
of sun and mist,
the level ray of sun-beam
has caressed
the lily with dark breast,
and flecked with richer gold
its golden crest.

Where the slow lifting
of the tide,
floats into the river
and slowly drifts
among the reeds,
and lifts the yellow flags,
he floats
where tide and river meet.

Ah kingly kiss—
no more regret
nor old deep memories
to mar the bliss;
where the low sedge is thick,
the gold day-lily
outspreads and rests
beneath soft fluttering
of red swan wings.

use of color
series of images
begins like a nature poem
sunset - the sun is caressing the lily
no mention of woman - lily is a stand in
small cause for greater effect
Helen’s birth brings last stanza - broken wall burning roof and tower
