HELLO;

could anyone help me to explain New England poem for Robinson. please I want to know what this poem dealt about? and What is the occasion of this poem?I need a little summary or an analysis please

New England - Poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson

Here where the wind is always north-north-east
And children learn to walk on frozen toes,
Wonder begets an envy of all those
Who boil elsewhere with such a lyric yeast
Of love that you will hear them at a feast
Where demons would appeal for some repose,
Still clamoring where the chalice overflows
And crying wildest who have drunk the least.

Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
We're told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
The first cat that was ever killed by Care

I am waiting for you......thank you so much

I enjoyed the sonnet. I don't know much about the poem, but here is something that popped up from a search that might be helpful: http://www.earobinson.com/pages/sites/site10.html

nona---people are hesitant to answer posts like that because it looks like you are asking others to do your homework for you.

its better if you contribute as much as you can yourself and then ask pointed questions about what you have written.
