Pastoral Analysis

Author: poem of William Carlos Williams Type: poem Views: 3

The little sparrows
hop ingenuously
about the pavement
quarreling
with sharp voices
over those things
that interest them.
But we who are wiser
shut ourselves in
on either hand
and no one knows
whether we think good
or evil.

Meanwhile,
the old man who goes about
gathering dog-lime
walks in the gutter
without looking up
and his tread
is more majestic than
that of the Episcopal minister
approaching the pulpit
of a Sunday.
These things
astonish me beyond words.

.: Pastoral :.

The word pastoral means this poem is about the poor. Williams is saying through this poem that the life of the poor is just as (if not more) significant than the lives of the rich.
