Explore "The Dark Day" by William Carlos Williams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A three-day-long rain from the east -- / an interminable talking, talking / of no consequence -- patter, patter, patter.
Hand in hand little winds / blow the thin streams aslant.
Warm. Distance cut off. Seclusion.
A few passers-by, drawn in upon themselves, / hurry from one place to another.
Winds of the white poppy! there is no escape! -- / An interminable talking, talking, / talking... it has happened before.
