Analysis of Nantucket
William Carlos Williams 1883 (Rutherford) – 1963 (Rutherford)
Flowers through the window
lavender and yellow
changed by white curtains –
Smell of cleanliness –
Sunshine of late afternoon –
On the glass tray
a glass pitcher, the tumbler
turned down, by which
a key is lying – And the
immaculate white bed
