Quotes
Miss Metcalf
Now, what do you think the poet means by this line ? Deanie Loomis.
Wilma Dean
I'm sorry, Miss Metcalf. I... I didn't hear the question.
Miss Metcalf
Well, I know it's Spring, Deanie, but I must ask you to pay more attention. I quoted some lines from Wordsworth's Ode on Intimations of Immortality, Deanie. Did you hear them ?
Wilma Dean
I'm afraid not Miss Metcalf.
Miss Metcalf
Well, then I must ask to turn your text to page 380...
Wilma Dean
Yes.
Miss Metcalf
You read the lines to me. Stand, please.
Wilma Dean
"Though nothing can bring back the hour/Of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower/We will grieve not. Rather find/Strengh in what remains behind..."
Miss Metcalf
Now, perhaps you can tell me exactly what the poet means by such expressions as "Splendor in the grass" and "Glory in the Flower".
Wilma Dean
Well, I think it have some...
Miss Metcalf
Yes ?
Wilma Dean
Well, when we're young, we looks at thing very idealistically I guess. And I think Woodsworth means that... that when we're grow-up... then, we have to... forget the ideals of youth... and find strength... Miss Metcalf, may I please be...?
