A BABY RUNNING BAREFOOT.
-D.H. Lawrence
D. H. Lawrence was a
playwright, essayist, literary critic and a painter. He wrote works such as
“Sons and Lowers”, “Woman in Law”, “The Rainbow”, and “The Fox”, etc. Many of
his colleagues describe him as photographer. He was a visionary thinker and he
in true sense represents modernism in English Literature.
In
the first line the poet talks about “the barefoot” of baby who runs across the
grass. When baby runs barefooted it is the sight which soothes your eyes.
He
compares baby’s Play with the song of robin. Robin’s song attracts its
listeners in the same way the sight of baby running barefooted attracts all
watchers.
The poet has compared the grass with cup of flower and baby’s white feet
with two white butterflies. Poet charmed by the playing of baby.
He compared his childhood with innocent baby’s playing. Thus,
in this poem the poet describes not only beauty of the baby but her childlike
innocence.
D. H. Lawrence much talked by the people because of his controversial writing. But
this poem is totally different from that. So, maybe he tries to relief himself
from the politics of society. Maybe that’s why he wrote this poem.
