Clare Cavanagh and Stanislaw’s, Courtesy of the Blind  



Communicating what we see in words is a difficulty which was showed in this poem. The poem confided to its readers that it is hard to understand what the words of a blind person meant in describing what he saw. Essentially, the authors used images in order to express what he felt based on what he viewed using his five senses
. In the first part of the poem, there is also blunt honesty on the perspective of a blind person that darkness always accompanied him and describing all in sentences defies hard work but respects common sense. The feelings of loneliness and difficulties are even stressed out by the blind person for he must remain loyal to his five senses only just to survive. The absence of the color of lights is part of a lonely blind person then.


A blind person could right a poem based on common sense streaming from the senses of the body and in an instant images of stars, clouds, and a whole view of nature come into life. In effect, the blind person in the poem never admitted that he could not do anything just because he was blind. The use of imagery in his mind is useful in reading, skipping, and respecting what he thought existed around him. The patience of a blind person is also a virtue that must be innate, for without it, he could not picture out movies, mirrors, and trains in his mind. In effect, forbearance is the source of strength for a poetic blind person in facing what life could offer.
