(www. wikipedia. org ) The marrow of the title is a question, roughly where can you blend in looking and thinking and wonders about a terrific things in nature (animals, wind, plant… etc. ) and where you eat up doing that. She uses the word temple to give the idea that the nature is a sacred thing .The main case of the poem is that the source regards us (the readers) to look at nature with a sense of exploration. Everything give come to you in the end, whether it is something you insufficiency to discover in nature or in other meaning you want to come through it in your life. There are 15 lines in the poem. The vocaliser is a woman, probably the poet herself. The pulse of the poem is fast and ener detectic. The poem doesn’t arouse a hoarfrost scheme. There are quartet similes and one metaphor in the poem. This poem is all about the nature and a sense of wonder.In the freshman two lines, the speaker tells us that there are somethings you can’t have. You can’t reach them. Even if you try all day long, you leave behinding not reach all of them, for example, some birds in the top the tree or some beauteous fish in a pond. Maybe she in like manner means that there are some dreams you will not be able to achieve all of. Even if you try and work hard to achieve them for several years, you can’t make them all incur. However, you still can have some opinion that you may be able to reach some of them if you want it deeply.Line 3 describes the wonderful things that y ou can fulfill in nature that are made by paragon. Line 4 tells us that all these terrible creatures were made by of paragon . Line 5 continues from line 3-4 the feeling that all this nature that god created can keep you busy and wondering about the greatness of nature’s creation. As busy as anything else is a simile, which means that nature can capture a lots of your time. Just looking at it and the variety of the creatures that you can check off in nature can captivate your soul and witticism for you sense of happiness and joyfulness.In line 6 the generator gives us an flesh in the phrase the snake slides away.

Furthermore in the same line the speaker give us a simile when she describes the startle of a fish like a little lily which is â€Å"type of plant that grows from a bulb and that has large white or coloured flowers”. ( Oxford dictionary 2006)The writer also gives us another great image of nature :The gold finches sing from the unreachable top of the tree .Here unreachable top of the tree is affiliated to the first line of the poem where there are things you can’t reach even if you want to like the gold finches who sing from a removed place. In line 7 the writer invites us to look at nature by motto I look and then construction morning to night where she means she looks at nature all day long without feeling bored or done with looking. In line 8 the writer tells us that in line 7 when she express looking she didn’t mean just standing around in nature, but standing around as though with your arms open .Here I think the writer means that your mind should be open and think about what god created . In line 9 the poet extends this idea by saying that when you stand around with your mind open and working, maybe something will come to you, for example, a shining coil of wind. Maybe she means some air wh ich will give you an energetic spirit. Moreover when Oliver says few leaves from any old tree, maybe she means that it may be you in your childhood or any old memory. In Line 10 the writer wants to get our attention by saying I will tell you the truth as if she will tell us secret or give us advice.In Lines 11-12 Oliver explains that, by saying everything in the world comes and I think she means here that anything you want will come to you ( you will achieve it ) and will happen for you . The phrase at least, closer means at a closer time. In line 13 she completes lines 11-12by saying that the things that will happen, will happen cordially (in a friendly way). In line 14 Oliver uses simile in the phrase like the nibbling; tinsel â€eyed fish; the unlooping snake. Oliver focuses on the state of these animals just to let us imagine with her the small details.Line 15 also has simile in the phrase like gold finches which means that the birds (gold finches) will also come at least in t he end, and here lines 13-14 are related to line 11. In the phrase little dolls of gold Oliver uses a metaphor, saying that the gold finches are like small dolls. Moreover fluttering around the corner of the sky of god means mournful and flying in the area of the sky which belongs to the god , and the blue air refers to the sky were you will see the gold finches flying. In conclusion, where does the temple begin?Where does it end? is a poem that is about nature. Furthermore it has some hope and supports us because in my opinion experiencing at nature and having some new air can change your mood and your feeling. This poem is one of the stovepipe poems I have read because I like the nature and animals and it reminds me about my town Salalah. However, the poem lacks the rhyme scheme element which is in my opinion a weakness in the poem. Furthermore it has simple speech communication and actually it has an energetic spirit. Moreover nature is eternally my favorite theme.
