Analysis of To Amy Lowell
Eunice Tietjens 1884 (Chicago) – 1944
who visits me in a hospital
Like a fleet with bellying sails,
Like the great bulk of a sea-cliff with the staccato bark
of waves about it,
Like the tart tang of the sea breeze
Are you;
Filling the little room where I lie straitly on a white
island between pain and pain.
