Landscape With the Fall of Icarus by William Carlos Williams
Performed by
William Carlos WilliamsAbout

Landscape With the Fall of Icarus Annotated
According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring
a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry
of the year was
awake tingling
near
the edge of the sea
concerned
with itself
sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax
unsignificantly
off the coast
there was
a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning
