Blog numero siete "Southern Night"


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.
