Operation Comments

And you gasp and reel and shudder In a rushing, swaying rapture, While the voices at your elbow......../// beautiful poem penned on the feeling of a patient on operation table in the hospital.

Racked and hurried back and forward, the lights grow fast and furious with amazing activity. This poem is very brilliantly and excellently penned.

How nice. The entire procedure comes to life with each word, line and stanza of the poem. Thanks.

Going through an operation is not an easy feeling though. Very nicely done the procedure. Enjoyed.

The procedure of operation and it's impact on the one being operated wonderfully narrated, Worthy modern poem of the day.

A beautiful poem to read; feeling of a patient on operation table in the hospital is depicted immaculately. Thanks for posting this nice poem. Chandan

Well operation, indeed

The senses of the patient are well described in this poem by the author of Invictus.

Such a great poem by William Ernest Henley👍👍👍

nice imagery - Then the lights grow fast and furious, And you hear a noise of waters,

A hospital scenario that sends a chill into the spine.

The atmosphere of an operation theatre as well as various activities being carried out or going on nicely re-created. The poet's observation and poetic representation is highly commendable. Thanks.

In a basket! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Seems so real as if taken straight from an operation theater. Enjoyed. So nice.

Considering that his dates are from the late 19th century he's lucky he even experienced the benefit of being anesthetized before being operated on. And that he survived to write about it.
