1 the lesson of the moth Don Marquis i was talking to a moth the other evening he was trying to break into an electric light bulb and fry himself on the wires a why do you fellows pull this stunt i asked him because it is the conventional 1 thing for moths or why if that had been an uncovered candle instead of an electric light bulb you would now be a small unsightly cinder 2 have you no sense b plenty of it he answered but at times we get tired of using it we get bored with the routine a b What might the light bulb symbolize? What are your first impressions of the speaker? CLARIFY MEANING Imagine that this stanza was punctuated like regular text. Where would the punctuation appear? 1. conventional: customary; usual; accepted. 2. cinder: a piece of burned material. 618 unit 5: poetry

3 and crave beauty and excitement fire is beautiful and we know that if we get too close it will kill us but what does that matter it is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while so we wad all our life up into one little roll and then we shoot the roll that is what life is for it is better to be a part of beauty for one instant and then to cease to exist than to exist forever and never be a part of beauty our attitude toward life is to come easy go easy we are like human beings used to be before they became too civilized to enjoy themselves c and before i could argue him out of his philosophy he went and immolated 3 himself on a patent 4 cigar lighter i do not agree with him myself i would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity 5 d but at the same time i wish there was something i wanted as badly as he wanted to fry himself archy c d FREE VERSE In what ways do the lines in this stanza sound like the way people really talk?

Private collection. Bridgeman Art Library I d rather be a tall, ugly weed, clinging on cliffs, like an eagle wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks. e To have broken through the surface of stone to live, to feel exposed to the madness of the vast, eternal sky. To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea, carrying my soul, my seed beyond the mountains of time or into the abyss 1 of the bizarre. I d rather be unseen, and if, then shunned 2 by everyone than to be a pleasant-smelling flower, growing in clusters in the fertile valley where they re praised, handled, and plucked by greedy, human hands. f I d rather smell of musty, green stench than of sweet, fragrant lilac. If I could stand alone, strong and free, I d rather be a tall, ugly weed. e f Reread lines 1 6. How does the speaker s view of himself or herself contrast with the way the speaker views them?

Examine Stanza In the lesson of the moth, how does the poet use stanzas to help you follow the conversation between the cockroach and the moth? 5. Analyze Metaphor What kind of person does the speaker in Identity want to be? What kind of person does he not want to be? 6. Clarify Meaning Refer to the charts you created as you read. For each poem, tell whether the line breaks, the stanzas, or the punctuation did the most to help you understand the poem s meaning. Explain what and how that element helped you understand. 7.
