The Woodspurge Analysis

Author: Poetry of Dante Gabriel Rossetti Type: Poetry Views: 514

The wind flapp'd loose, the wind was still,
Shaken out dead from tree and hill:
I had walk'd on at the wind's will,--
I sat now, for the wind was still.

Between my knees my forehead was,--
My lips, drawn in, said not Alas!
My hair was over in the grass,
My naked ears heard the day pass.

My eyes, wide open, had the run
Of some ten weeds to fix upon;
Among those few, out of the sun,
The woodspurge flower'd, three cups in one.

From perfect grief there need not be
Wisdom or even memory:
One thing then learnt remains to me,--
The woodspurge has a cup of three.

Rossetti has been able to include the simplest of the unemotional details to express his mood.this poem includes his isolation and deep sadness.he makes the use of all what nature envelopes and ends his poem with focus upon a simple wild plant,the woodspurge.but one really wonders if he is actually seeing the plant.this very grief that is his shows also how much he longed to have had his late sister by his side.thus,he compares how he loved his sister to the woodspurge which still hold firmly its dear ones that is its petals.

Rossetti is conveying himself in a depressed and grief stricken moment (as he was for the majority of his life). The personna turns to nature as a force which can guide and comfort him, which it does as he advanced thorugh life "at the winds will", however Rossetti feels that the close relationship between nature and man no longer exists in Victorian England and he "sits now" as "the wind is still". Rossetti also feels that nothing can, or should be learnt from grief and depression ("From perfect grief there need not be...memory") and the only thing that can be remembered is the insiginicance that "The Woodspurge has a cup of three"
