Night

by Louise Bogan



The Cold remote islands

And the blue estuaries

Where what breathes, breathes

The restless wind of the inlets

And what drinks, drinks

The incoming tide;



Where shell and weed

Wait upon the salt wash of the sea,

And the clear nights of stars

Swing their lights westward

To set behind the land;



Where the clinging to the rocks

Renews itself forever;

Where, again on cloudless nights,

The water reflects

the firmament's partial setting;



-O remember

In your narrowing dark hours

That more things move

Than blood in the heart.



Thank You!!!

I t seemed to me the author was talking about the ebb and flow of life--so if u focus on that concept maybe something will come to mind--But I could be completely crazy--or lost in my own beliefs and if I am I'm still alive, and for that I am relieved.

This means the fauna lives and breathes without our awareness or caring.



Where shell and weed

Wait upon the salt wash of the sea,

And the clear nights of stars

Swing their lights westward

To set behind the land;



This means the flora and fauna exist together on the East Coast, but I can't see how or why that would make or change the meaning of the verse.



Where the clinging to the rocks

Renews itself forever;

Where, again on cloudless nights,

The water reflects

the firmament's partial setting;

This one isn't clear to me, try to figure it out yourself, sorry.



-O remember

In your narrowing dark hours

That more things move

Than blood in the heart.



your narrowing dark hours has to mean your end on this planet and yours, mine nor any ones death will stop the rest of the world from living and or existing.



Hope this helps,

Reply:The islands are in the middle of nowhere and are hostile

And in the blue ends of the rivers in which it takes on the ongoing wind of the inlets

And it flows the incoming tide



Where organisms of the ocean wait upon the sea

and the stars "move" westward to set behind the land



Where the rocks renew themselves (i think it means erosion)

Where on clear nights the water reflects the sky's partial setting



Remember that in your last hours of life

That there is more to life than just your blood.
Reply:What is this saying? I think it's telling of a place where someone is living their last moments. Near a sea shore, at night.

Is that what you need?
Reply:The theme of the poem is the relation of the rythems of elemental nature to the rythems of life. It speaks of the combination of air, water, heaven, and earth, being observed as a reflection of the state of the observer. By considering this correlation, the observer is brought into realizing harmony with these forces. By remembering in "dark hours" this same harmony, the obeserver trancends the fear of oblivion in death.
