Ted Hughes' 'Old Age Gets Up'
2007-07-18 16:07:00 I would like to quote here a poem by Ted Hughes.Old Age Gets UpStirs its ashes and embers, its burnt sticksAn eye powdered over, half melted and solid againPondersIdeas that collapseAt the first touch of attentionThe light at the window, so square and so sameSo full-strong as ever, the window frameA scaffold in space, for eyes to lean onSupporting the body, shaped to its old workMaking small movements in gray airNumbed from the blurred accidentOf having lived, the fatal, real injuryUnder the amnesiaSomething tries to save itself-searchesFor defenses-but words evadeLike flies with their own notionsOld age slowly gets dressedHeavily dosed with death's nightSits on the bed's edgePulls its pieces togetherLoosely tucks in its shirtOld is such a stage of life when you have satisfaction of having lived a full life but at the same time prospect of growing old is frightening. This is because of the state of loneliness associated with old age and the unconcerned look in the eyes of others t...
