I have to analyze one of Oscar Wilde's poems. If anyone has any info on any of his poems, that would be great.

Please reply or send me an e-mail at: royal_nutcase@hotmail.com

You will be able to find plenty of online info on the ballad of Reading goal, for example. When you have chosen your poem, let us know. I don't think anyone is going to try to analyze all of them here for you :-)

I always liked this one, you can do the interpreting though:

Impression Du Matin
by Oscar Wilde

THE Thames nocturne of blue and gold
Changed to a Harmony in grey:
A barge with ochre-coloured hay
Dropt from the wharf: and chill and cold

The yellow fog came creeping down
The bridges, till the houses' walls
Seemed changed to shadows, and S. Paul's
Loomed like a bubble o'er the town.

Then suddenly arose the clang
Of waking life; the streets were stirred
With country waggons: and a bird
Flew to the glistening roofs and sang.

But one pale woman all alone,
The daylight kissing her wan hair,
Loitered beneath the gas lamps' flare,
With lips of flame and heart of stone.

Les
