Why would a poet use
Why would a poet use ambiguity? What do I do if I can't figure out what an image means? How come these words are haunting my dreams? All of these questions and more are addressed in this reading, summary, and analysis of Louis Gluck's haunting poem: "All Hallows."
Even now this landscape is assembling.
The hills darken. The oxen
sleep in their blue yoke,
the fields having been
picked clean, the sheaves
bound evenly and piled at the roadside
among cinquefoil, as the toothed moon rises:
This is the barrenness
of harvest or pestilence.
And the wife leaning out the window
with her hand extended, as in payment,
and the seeds
distinct, gold, calling
Come here
Come here, little one
And the soul creeps out of the tree.
