ENTRY 10：Response to the poem "The Blind Woman"

This poem describes the desperate access of the world with light of the blind woman. In the first stanza, the light was associated with the rain, which was touchable and you could feel with it. The woman smiled towards the light, which shows her love for the light. In the stanza two to four, the word like forehead, eyes, neck, sweatshirt, breasts, shoes, every part of her body can feel the light like the rain trickling down from the top of her body. The light touching her skin made her felt alive, though blind, she could still feel the light with her sensation. Different from the former stanzas, from the stanza four to the last stanza, it depicts a totally dark moment when she eagerly chased behind the circus wagon that left her behind; however, instead of quitting the world, she still chose to survive in the darkness with her cane, though the world cowered back in a corner, she leaned towards the world and embraced it. So, in my own perspective, this poem delivers a positive attitude, which can be summarized in a word, “never abandon the world, though it abandons you.
