Walking Away was written by C. Day Lewis (1904 1972). Both poems reflect on father son relationships. Compare and contrast the two poems, taking account of the themes developed, the situations and tones of the speakers, and the form, structure and language (including imagery) of the poems. N.B. Both poems should be given equal treatment in your response. On My First Son Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy; My sin was too much hope of thee, loved boy. Seven years thou wert lent to me, and I thee pay, Exacted by thy fate, on the just day. Oh, could I lose all father now! For why Will man lament the state he should envy? To have so soon scaped world s and flesh s rage, And, if no other misery, yet age? Rest in soft peace, and, asked, say here doth lie Ben Johnson his best piece of poetry; For whose sake, henceforth, all his vows be such, As what he loves may never like too much. Ben Jonson 4524 4 [Turn over Walking Away For Sean It is eighteen years ago, almost to the day A sunny day with the leaves just turning, The touch-lines new-ruled since I watched you play Your first game of football, then, like a satellite Wrenched from its orbit, go drifting away Behind a scatter of boys. I can see You walking away from me towards the school With the pathos1 of a half-fledged thing set free Into a wilderness, the gait2 of one Who finds no path where the path should be. That hesitant figure, eddying away Like a winged seed loosened from its parent stem, Has something I never quite grasp to convey About nature s give-and-take the small, the scorching Ordeals which fire one s irresolute clay. I have had worse partings, but none that so Gnaws at my mind still. Perhaps it is roughly Saying what God alone could perfectly show How selfhood begins with a walking away, And love is proved in the letting go. C. Day Lewis 1. pathos means pity 2. gait means a way of walking 4524 5 [Turn over Read all of this page first carefully Section B Poetry Written Before 1770 Answer one question in this section.
