Visiting Hour Flashcards
The hospital smell combs my. Is trolls
Discomfort as the smell Invades his senses
Shows clear setting and over powering smells
Green and yellow corridors
Connotations of sickness
Stress
Discomfort
As they go bobbling along
Unwhere of direction
Trying to force himself to feel something
What seems a corpse
Metaphor
Patient appears dead
Poet cannot belibe there still alive
No longer human like
Trundled into a lift and vanishes
Trundled - moves slowly
Vanishes will never be seen agajn
Heavenward
Patient is getting moved upstairs
Expects patient to die/go to heaven
I will not feel I will not feel Untill I have too
Reader feels sympathy
Reputation of poets thiughts as if he is changing under his breath to hide emotions and hold off as long as possible
Lightly, swiftly
Word chouce
Nurse glides as if they are care free
Here and uo and down there
Emphasises the number of nurses everywhere
Slender waists miraculously
Amazed that they can handle death well
Admiration of nurses ability
Carting their burden of so much pain and so many deaths
There eyes still clear after so many farewells
Repetition stresses the amount of time nurses deal with unpleasant things and r remain strong
Farewells makes a series event sound less harsh
In a white cave if forgetfulness
Symbolic of hospitals curtains
A whithered hand trembles on its stalk
Old age
Metaphor
Emphasising her illness
Eyes move heavily behind eyelids
Almost like a compost state
She can’t open eyes
Doenst make her seem alive
And between her and me distance shrinks till there is none left
Closer to his loved one but dienst have long left
