what do you feel the poem "Nocturne In A Deserted Brickyard" is about? I'm having trouble dissecting it and analyzing what is really is about. I know a Nocturne is an 18th century piece of musi made for a piano. That is as far as I have gotten.
STUFF of the moon
Runs on the lapping sand
Out to the longest shadows.
Under the curving willows,
And round the creep of the wave line,
Fluxions of yellow and dusk on the waters
Make a wide dreaming pansy of an old pond in the night.
Carl Sandburg
Nocturne In A Deserted Brickyard-Carl Sandburg?
First , nocturne also means night, or nightly...as I recall. Didn't look it up, sorry.
Ahhh...just read this by Mr. Sandburg--it's a wonderful description of a pond at night, in moonlight. Can you see it now? the stuff of the moon is its light, the longest shadows come from willows, etc. Have you got it now? Look up "fluxions," but I'd guess ... well guesses aren't good homework.
Another "hint:" the yellow and dusk on the waters are still the "lapping sand."
My, he had a way with words!
Good luck!
