A Noiseless Patient Spider by WaltWhitman
A noiseless, patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out ofitself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking thespheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be: form’d, till theductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O mysoul.
Design by Robert Frost
I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
Assorted characters of death and blight
Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
Like the ingredients of a witches’ broth—
A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,
And dead wings carried like a paper kite.
What had that flower to do with being white,
The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall? —
If design govern in a thing so small.
1. What is the thematicconcern of “A Noiseless Patient Spider”? What poetic devices Whitman adopts toexpress this concern?
2. What is the thematicconcern of “Design”? What poetic devices Frost adopts to express this concern?
