Unknown Story
Storyboard-Text
- Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
- Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
- Edna St. uses imagery in the poem Sonnet 30. Edna St. Vincent uses her words to invoke the readers' imagination, forcing them to imagine a drowning man in the sea desperately asking for help, but no one is around to know he is there. Edna never defines what love is, but by defining what love is not, the reader can get a picture of what love truly is. Like line 5 says, "Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone." Line 5 makes the reader imagine a person with a broken bone in agony. This image makes the reader question the purpose of love. Love can not heal you, nor can it help you in your time of need. What is love's purpose? Finally, line 6 tells you the answer to love, not with the writer directly telling you, but through another image. The image of a writer all alone writing a poem about love but with no one to love for themselves.
- The turn in Sonnet 30 is in line 8, "even as I speak, for lack of love alone." This third-person poem is about what love isn't, and the same sonnet that made the reader question the purpose of love's existence turns into a first-person story about the writer's desire to have it. Although they know that love has no function, they still can not help but crave it. The writer asks herself a question if they had love, but she was without shelter in the rain, would they trade it for a sanctuary. If she were in pain, would they exchange their love away for it to stop? If she were hungry, would she trade the love for food? With these questions, the writer admits to herself they can only hope she wouldn't.
- I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
- Or trade the memory of this night for food
