'Old Boats' Summary
'Old Boats' is a contemplative poem that reflects on the passage of time and the enduring nature of beauty. Garrison uses the imagery of old, weathered boats to symbolize the passage of time and the memories that linger even as things change and fade. The poem suggests that although the boats may be old and worn, they still hold a certain beauty and charm, just as memories of the past can still hold meaning even as they fade. The poem speaks to the human capacity for nostalgia and the ways in which we find solace in the past, even as we move forward into the future. The poem also suggests that there is a certain beauty to be found in the aging process and in the way that things change and evolve over time. 'Old Boats' is a poignant and evocative poem that speaks to the universal human experience of time, memory, and loss.Book Details
