I have to write a critical appreciation about the poem "time" by allen curnow. could someone please give me info on the poem?
thankyou.
ten points straightaway!
I am the nor' west air nosing among the pines
I am the water-race and the rust on railway lines
I am the mileage recorded on the yellow signs.
I am dust, I am distance, I am lupins back of the beach
I am the sums the sole- charge teachers teach
I am cows called to milking and the magpie's screech.
I am nine o'clock in the morning when the office is clean
I am the slap of the belting and the smell of the machine
I am the place in the park where lovers were seen.
I am recurrent music the children hear
I am level noises in the rmembering ear
I am the sawmill and the passionate second gear.
I, Time, am all these, yet these exist
Among my mountainous fabrics like a mist
So do they the measurable world resist.
I, Time, call down, condense, confer
On the willing memory the shapes these were:
I, more than your conscious carrier,
Am island, am sea, am father, farn, and friend
Though I am here all things my coming attend:
I am, you have heard it, the Beginning
thankyou.
