Silver Bread
What is the poem, Music I Heard, by Conrad Aiken about?
Music I Heard
Music I heard with you was more than music,
And bread I broke with you was more than bread;
Now that I am without you, all is desolate;
All that was once so beautiful is dead.
Your hands once touched this table and this silver,
And I have seen your fingers hold this glass.
These things do not remember you, beloved,
And yet your touch upon them will not pass.
For it was in my heart that you moved among them,
And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes;
And in my heart they will remember always,
—They knew you once, O beautiful and wise.
Conrad Potter Aiken
In the poem “Music I Heard”, written by Conrad Aiken, the love expressed is different. The character of the poem is a man, that is speaking about his loved one. Full of memories, he has flashbacks of when the loved one was around him and his belongings. After the loved person left, he is lonely. The memories are coming back to him in the quote (line #5), ” Your hands one touched this table and this silver”. He misses her and the good times they had together. He wants to have her come back to him. She is now only in his heart full of past memories.
The feeling that love brings in this poem is sadness. The sadness of missing the loved one is great. He is lonely and full of memories that still light up his hopes for having her come back. He remembers her actions and what she touched, but only the memories are left. The sadness is expressed in this quote (line # 3-4) by the character. “Now that I am without you all is desolate;/ and all that was once so beautiful is dead.” He misses her a lot, and does not like things that much as he did when she was around.
