Blizzard
Blizzard - meaning Summary
Isolation Under Accumulating Snow
The poem uses a blizzard as a compact metaphor for accumulated emotion and time. Snow represents years of anger and idle hours that pile up until sunlight scatters it into colored flakes. Trees and alleys appear transformed by the storm, creating a paused, wild solitude. At the poem's end a single man leaves a solitary track across the altered world, suggesting individual passage, memory, and movement through isolation and renewal.
Read Complete AnalysesSnow falls: years of anger following hours that float idly down -- the blizzard drifts its weight deeper and deeper for three days or sixty years, eh? Then the sun! a clutter of yellow and blue flakes -- Hairy looking trees stand out in long alleys over a wild solitude. The man turns and there -- his solitary track stretched out upon the world.
