Anyone who can read this verse???

Question

"A certain minor light may still
Leap incandescent
Out of kitchen table or chair
As if a celestial burning took
Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then --
Thus hallowing an interval
Otherwise inconsequent
By bestowing largesse, honor,
One might say love. "
paraphrase them if you understand.

Answer 1

Black Rook in Rainy Weather by Sylvia Plath

On the stiff twig up there
Hunches a wet black rook
Arranging and rearranging its feathers in the rain-
I do not expect a miracle
Or an accident

To set the sight on fire
In my eye, nor seek
Any more in the desultory weather some design,
But let spotted leaves fall as they fall
Without ceremony, or portent.

Although, I admit, I desire,
Occasionally, some backtalk
From the mute sky, I can't honestly complain:
A certain minor light may still
Lean incandescent

Out of kitchen table or chair
As if a celestial burning took
Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then --
Thus hallowing an interval
Otherwise inconsequent

By bestowing largesse, honor
One might say love. At any rate, I now walk
Wary (for it could happen
Even in this dull, ruinous landscape); sceptical
Yet politic, ignorant

Of whatever angel any choose to flare
Suddenly at my elbow. I only know that a rook
Ordering its black feathers can so shine
As to seize my senses, haul
My eyelids up, and grant

A brief respite from fear
Of total neutrality. With luck,
Trekking stubborn through this season
Of fatigue, I shall
Patch together a content

Of sorts. Miracles occur.
If you care to call those spasmodic
Tricks of radiance
Miracles. The wait's begun again,
The long wait for the angel,

For that rare, random descent."


The magic that can be found in ordinary things - even a kitchen table or chair can, if perceived from the right perspective, become holy acts of creation.
Every now and then, we can look at a usual object in a new light and see it as part of eternity.

It reminds me a lot of this other poem:

"The Red Wheelbarrow

William Carlos Williams

so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens."

Answer 2

It means that even the most ordinary every-day things can seem special if they are used by someone you love. Like -that's an ordinary kitchen chair, but it seems special to me, because my true love sits there.

Answer 3

It really is saying love can shine from everwhere, a table or chair or anywhere! cause love is so important in our lives that we need it to be somewhere in the world, we just have to find it. I know it sounds weird but hey. im in 5th grade.

Answer 4

this is a candle burning on a table in a kitchen between two lovers working their relationship out.

Answer 5

Personally, the words 'celestial' and 'hallowing' would indicate something heavenly, spiritual, or perhaps ghostly.

Answer 6

Inannimate objects may not be so innannimate - they can give us gifts of honor or love.

Answer 7

Something wicked this way comes...it may be disguised as love...though it's really just...indigestion at midnight...while studying for the finals....

Answer 8

it says that love can be anywhere that you look and it can be in any shape or form that you may find. love can be random from any angle that you look at it, that is what it is trying to say from my view of it

Answer 9

Nope....i dont get it. And I think whoever who wrote it put more emphasis on using big words than worrying about the content.

Answer 10

I get it. It's easy.
