Poet: H. D.
Poem: Mid-Day
Comment 1 of 1, added on April 8th, 2008 at 11:14 AM.
This poem is about H.D feeling inferior as a woman poet. The seeds mentioned throughout the poem are a symbol of herself and her thoughts. The seeds are scattered around in different places like her, because she is confused. The tree mentioned in the poem is a symbol of a man. Men were the main poets and writers at the time so they had more strength than her. The tree could also be a symbol for Pound, whom H.D was engaged to at one point. He also gave H.D her pen name. She could have been feeling powerless to him at the time.
