D.H. Lawrence had a very unique collection of poems that I
found intriguing to read and others emotionally close to the poet. "Southern Nights" had an eerie feel
to it like the type of discription of a
horror movie and with an emotional
connection between words. In stanza
three, line two it states, "Bitter-stinging white world that bore
us," gives a concrete and ambiguous way in describing light. It is concrete because it is boring through
the eyes and becoming a piercing light.
However, he loosely refers to it as the white world that illuminates our
surroundings. I enjoyed his description
of the autumn moon and how it is this orbiting object that not only brings a
sense of foulness to the air but also an idea of a whole new world to perceive. With the rising of the blood colored moon
comes with it a creep atmosphere to linger until the end of the poem. I also
liked how Lawrence draws the readers with use of anphoras, ploces, and other
devices.
