Analysis of Here the Whole World
Clive Staples Lewis 1898 (Clive Staples Lewis Belfast) – 1963 (Oxford)
Here the whole world (stars, water, air,
And field, and forest, as they were
Reflected in a single mind)
Like cast off clothes was left behind
In ashes, yet with hopes that she,
Re-born from holy poverty,
In lenten lands, hereafter may
Resume them on her Easter Day.
