Not a real abandoned house, it is meant figuratively a poem full of brilliance to contemplate. How masterfully created was this poem. Thought-provoking!
CONTINUED: So that the author felt that there was vanished thing of her life. The author felt that the death of her beloved people means shehad no friends anymore. In that way, the author turned to be introvert person. She chose to be alone
It explains the condition of the author in that time. After the author suffer of lost, because people around her passed away.
a very good poem gloomy and sad poem what's the message here? good to think about it. Top Marks for this brilliant poem. TFS
It is utterly monstrous to have a robot voice recite these delicate and nuanced poems. Shame on the poster.
there's still something there, though there are only negatives there
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge has nicely depicted the picture of deserted house in this simple poem!
Only one thing about this poem does not ring true: the last two lines. It has been my experience that abandoned houses attract many 'beasts of the field', especially small ones like mice, squirrels, etc. Many birds would also make their nests in an abandoned house with no glass in the windows.
Here that was not truly meant, the poem is abouth death and the poetess. A brilliant poem to be pondered upon.
To read and enjoy the lines is a good experience but unfortunately the words cannot be taken in its word form only and meanings that made the creativity may be something else beyond an ordinary house, it may be the world or surrounding itself or the miraculous universe itself including its vast oceans, air space, including all its perfect beauty.
Mary's prolific pen paints the boarder -line of supernatural psychic in a manner of something said and something unsaid. Her poetic personage deserves true worth.
This beautiful poem goes to My Favourites.
