Title: Weather

Author: Butler Yeats Author Icon

Type: Poem


Well it’s more about the weather inside than outside. That which is outside is just a metaphor for those feelings and emotions one keeps inside them. It’s a serious poem that focuses on the imagery of day, turning to dusk, and how traveling in such weather can bring up all kinds of thoughts and feelings, including the ability to compare that weather to our own feelings and emotions.

The reader doesn’t know who is in the car, how they are connected or where they are going. It’s not ultimately important. It’s just a vehicle (no pun intended) to show that sense of fear that permeates his/her emotions.

While it’s a contemplative poem, there is an element to it that is unsettling. We can see the person in the car, absorbing the weather around them, taking it all in and maybe becoming increasingly frustrated and fearful, at whatever dread is causing this kinship with the weather. Maybe it’s not dread, but just an uneasy feeling, but it’s submerged and at the end of the poem, I had the distinct feeling, something was bubbling beneath the surface, a breakdown maybe? Or maybe just an outburst, declaring whatever it is, she/he is keeping submerged. There may soon be lightning inside, as well as outside.
