Silence By David Herbert Lawrence [Photo with Poem / Experiment24]

The poem I transcribed today is David Herbert Lawrence's poem Silence. 

The silence in this poem also means death, and it also means the behavior of a person who has lost words after a breakup. I understood that the poet recognized silence as a way of expressing sound.
It may mean a history of pain in which people cannot tell the truth by opening their mouths. It sometimes developed into resistance and became a driving force to change history. When I read this poem, I think it is composed of a calm and powerful language. The last verse, The sound of men, comes to me in many ways.


Silence

David Herbert Lawrence
​
Since I lost you I am silence-haunted,
Sounds wave their little wings
A moment, then in weariness settle
On the flood that soundless swings.
​
Whether the people in the street
Like pattering ripples go by,
Or whether the theatre sighs and sighs
With a loud, hoarse sigh:
​
Or the wind shakes a ravel of light
Over the dead-black river,
Or night’s last echoing
Makes the daybreak shiver:
​
I feel the silence waiting
To take them all up again
In its vast completeness, enfolding
The sound of men.

I chose this photo for a poem called Silence. It looks confident, but I wanted to show you bending down and looking up without saying anything. There are many things you want, but I think it's an image that shows your will to never say anything forever because you can't achieve it. 😎
