Analysis and comments on Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus by William Carlos Williams

Comment 3 of 3, added on December 26th, 2005 at 8:05 AM.

Compare this poem to that of W H Auden's poem on the same subject. Two
poems which use the painting for strikingly different purposes.

At six feet above m.s.l
The scope of my sight across seascape
Ceases at six miles
Where sea meets sky at the earthends.

But an inteminable impression
Of space and distance draws me
From pasture and plogh and fishing
To the destinies of my doom.

R.Lakshman.

It is true that we who push the boundaries to be noticed, only can hope
that the footprints are not in sand, rather, in concrete, so that all may
remember us.

Jayme from United States
