Corner Seat
Suspended in a moving night
The face in the reflected train
Looks at first sight as self-assured
As your own face - But look again:
Windows between you and the world
Keep out the cold, keep out the fright;
Then why does your reflection seem
So lonely in the moving night?
-Louis Macneice
beautiful poem isn't it? seemingly simple, yet conveys so much if you analyse it carefully.. the symmetry, the syllables, the contrasting ideas. it's one of my favourite poems in E8. i would like to be able to write such a lovely poem one day, having such power in words and emotions. suddenly thought of this poem, perhaps another day i'll post another of my favourite writings.
