Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq In the Smoking Car The eyelids meet. He'll catch a little nap. The grizzled, crew-cut head drops to his chest. It shakes above the briefcase on his lap. Close voices breathe, "Poor sweet, he did his best." "Poor sweet, poor sweet," the bird-hushed glades repeat, Through which in quiet pomp his litter goes, Carried by native girls with naked feet. A sighing stream concurs in his repose. Could he but think, he might recall to mind The righteous mutiny or sudden gale That beached him here; the dear ones left behind ... So near the ending, he forgets the tale. Were he to lift his eyelids now, he might Behold his maiden porters, brown and bare. But even here he has no appetite. It is enough to know that they are there. Enough that now a honeyed music swells, The gentle, mossed declivities begin, And the whole air is full of flower-smells. Failure, the longed-for valley, takes him in. Richard Wilbur An interesting poem - not brilliant, but I like the theme, and it's handled well enough. The poem is enjoyable not so much for the imagery as for the tone, which balances humour and warm sympathy nicely, with perhaps a hint of commiseration, and some lovely lines like 'So near the ending, he forgets the tale'. The poem also presents a somewhat wry look at today's rather pervasive success-oriented culture - the very stereotypicality of the character makes the reader realise that a good many people would rather inhabit a comfortable dreamworld than cope with the real one, desiring no better epitaph than 'poor sweet, he did his best'. Links: While this poem has echoes of Thurber's Walter Mitty and Schulz's Charlie Brown, neither analogy is that strong. More interesting is to compare it to Robinson's "Miniver Cheevy", a far harsher look at a similar misfit:

Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq Transit A woman I have never seen before Steps from the darkness of her town-house door At just that crux of time when she is made So beautiful that she or time must fade. What use to claim that as she tugs her gloves A phantom heraldry of all the loves Blares from the lintel? That the staggered sun Forgets, in his confusion, how to run? Still, nothing changes as her perfect feet Click down the walk that issues in the street, Leaving the stations of her body there As a whip maps the countries of the air. Richard Wilbur Today's poem is reminiscent of Sandburg's "Last Answers" [ Poem #713 ] in its trick of simultaneously illustrating and deprecating 'poetry'. There is more to it than mere rhetorical trickery, of course - to quote one critic: In fact, the smooth surface of the Wilbur poem can successfully distract us from recognizing how unusual and unexpected are the twists and leaps that structure the poem’s narrative. Many poems by Wilbur, while striking a superficial "balance," implicitly celebrate, while demonstrating, the virtues of a wit that is elaborately playful. http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/s_z/wilbur/bio.htm

This Issue's Contents Meta, XLIV, 2, 1999 A Certain Slant of Light : Richard Wilbur as Translator of French Albert Waldinger Defense Language Institute, Monterey, USA Abstract Wilbur's connection with Emily Dickinson was not merely the result of his years in her home town of Amherst, where he studied literature from 1938 to 1941 (Butts : 162). This was a useful, even shocking exercise in expressive relativity since Bouchet was himself a poet, and to absorb the shock Wilbur plunged back into his own work, published as The Beautiful Changes and Other Poems One thing that moves a poet to translate from other tongues, as I know from my own experience, is the urge to broaden his utterance through imposture, to say things he is not yet able to say in his own person. Le Pont Mirabeau : 218). Such modern poetry served as his apprenticeship in concretizing the Latinate component of the French vocabulary, whether by nativizing it (the precipitation sempiternelle Pluie : 32) or by authenticating and maintaining the source (the In 1952, New Directions was preparing a new version of Baudelaire's

54. Essay: "Richard Wilbur's Candide" richard wilbur'S CANDIDE Glitter and Be Gay? richard wilbur’s CANDIDE. Once suchman was the “Poet Laureate of America (Berstein 2),” richard wilbur. http://members.tripod.com/~Da_Da_Da/essay.html

RICHARD WILBUR'S "CANDIDE" Glitter and Be Gay?: Richard Wilbur’s CANDIDE. Much like Cunegonde’s lust for riches may seem detached from American life of the 1950’s, Dr. Pangloss’s eternal optimism may seem equally so. However, this time period’s most influential leader, the television, brought us the sickeningly optimistic and wholesome The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Leave It To Beaver, and Father Knows Best. In each of these programs, everything always worked out for the best, without exception, and everyone lives “happily ever after,” and, frankly, quite unbelievably. But week after week, Americans tuned in and bought in to the optimistic views of Ozzie and the Beav. Though discarded from the original body of work, the lyric “Dear Boy” was published in 1961 by Wilbur as “Pangloss’s Song: A Comic Operetta Lyric,” and parodies these “happy ending” messages. Dr. Pangloss, having fallen victim to syphilis, tells Candide that he “will not hear me speak with sorrow or with rancor/With has paled my rosy cheek/And blasted it with cancker,” because, after all, “’Twas Love, great Love, that id the deed/Through nature’s gentle laws,/And how should ill effects proceed/From so divine a cause?” Pangloss’s continuing rationalization of his sickness a positive force becomes more and more indigestible, and his happy ending contrived; “To one adept in reasoning,/Whatever pains disease may bring/Are but the tangy seasoning/To Love’s delicious fare.” Wilbur builds the lyric with one outrageous explanation after another, as we begin realize, perhaps for the first time, the sad flaws in the Panglossian theory of optimism. Just as we can see the flaws in Wally and the Beaver’s ideally upbringing in a sugar-coated America.

In a Dark Time ... The Eye Begins to See February 15, 2002 Love Calls Us to the Things of the World Love Calls Us to the Things of the World The eyes open to a cry of pulleys, And spirited from sleep, the astounded soul Hangs for a moment bodiless and simple As false dawn. Outside the open window The morning air is all awash with angels. Some are in bed-sheets, some are in blouses, Some are in smocks: but truly there they are. Now they are rising together in calm swells Of halcyon feeling, filling whatever they wear With the deep joy of their impersonal breathing; Now they are flying in place, conveying The terrible speed of their omnipresence, moving And staying like white water; and now of a sudden They swoon down into so rapt a quiet That nobody seems to be there. The soul shrinks From all that it is about to remember, From the punctual rape of every blessed day
