Journal on “Grandparents” By Robert Lowell
Before I read the poem, I look the title “Grandparents’’ and deliberate questions what happen to the speaker’s grandparents. I keep my curiosity and read the poem. The poem is different from other poem because there is one stanza. In the beginning of this poem, the speaker mentions they all passed away now. And he mentions people in the town all attends to their funeral. After he refers the fact “his grandparents all dead now”, the speaker recalls his grandparents. When he was a teenager, his grandpa often waves his stick and his grandma often wears the veil. And he refers a series of things such as a horse was killed for a pierce arrow, the road was become whiten by the leaves, and child who do more jobs in the nineteen century all goes to heaven. After that, the speaker continue to recall a series of things such as the gramophone was racked, the five green bulbs become shaded, and his grandpa’s number three ball to represent his missing for his dear grandpa. In the end of this poem, the speaker everything won’t be happen again.
This poem is an elegy for his grandparents. The speaker misses his grandpa very much so he hopes his grandpa “hold him, and cherish him”. The tone of this poem is sorrow, ruthful, and sighed. The theme of this poem is we should cherish the sweet times of getting along with our families because everything will be end someday in the future. I found metaphors in this poem. I think the Pierce Arrow may metaphor as Death because the arrow likes a Death. He will destroy our life if we touch it. And the leaves, the racking gramophone, five green shaded lights metaphor a cruel fact “creatures and articles will be die someday”. This is a sorrowful poem and it also makes me recall my dear grandpa and the painful experience of I cried a lot and in his funeral. But I have a confusion why the speaker uses “clear” in “the Pierce Arrow clears its throat”. Why the speaker don’t change another word likes stab?
