I dreamt I climbed to a high, high plain;And on the plain I found a deep well.My throat was dry with climbing and I longed to drink,And my eyes were eager to look into the cool shaft.I walked round it; I looked right down;I saw my image mirrored on the face of the pool.An earthen pitcher was sinking into the black depths;There was no rope to pull it to the well-head.I was strangely troubled lest the pitcher should be lost,And started wildly running to look for help.From village to village I scoured that high plain;The men were gone: the dogs leapt at my throat.I came back and walked weeping round the well;Faster and faster the blinding tears flowed-Till my own sobbing suddenly woke me up;My room was silent, no one in the house stirred;The flame of my candle flickered with a green smoke;The tears I had shed glittered in the candle-light.A bell sounded; I knew it was the midnight chime;I sat up in bed and tried to arrange my thoughts:The plain in my dream was the graveyard at Ch'ang-an,Those hundred acres of untilled land.The soil heavy and the mounds heaped high;And the dead below them laid in deep troughs.Deep are the troughs, yet sometimes dead menFind their way to the world above the grave.And tonight my love who died long agoCame into my dream as the pitcher sunk in the well.That was why the tears suddenly streamed from my eyes,Streamed from my eyes and fell on the collar of my dress.

His art is eccentricity, his aim How not to hit the mark he seems to aim at, His passion how to avoid the obvious, His technique how to vary the avoidance. Regards and keep safe protesting. This poem is about another unknown “him” who’s art is abstract, and doesn’t go within the lines of normalcy. And invited the luckless bee within. Because of the word choice the poet has chosen, I think that this poem not only describes the throwing style of a baseball pitcher, but it could also describe someone who is a little different from the social norm.

THE simple Jane was sent to bring Fresh water from the neighb'ring spring; The matter pressed, no time to waste, Jane took her jug, and ran in hasteThe well to reach, but in her flurry(The more the speed the worse the hurry), Tripped on a rolling stone, and broke Her precious pitcher,--ah! It’s the same feeling that a batter feels when he swings at a seemingly perfect pitch and misses. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. The author makes it very clear that the pitcher is not illegally throwing the ball nor changing the way the game is played; he is simply just playing on a higher level than all the other pitchers. Not only does he through the ball to the box every single time, but by the time the batter realizes that the ball is coming his way, it is already in the catcher’s glove.
