        <description><![CDATA[The controlling metaphor of Robert Hayden's "Whose Winter Sundays" is in the father's "austere and lonely offices," acts of love performed against the elements so that the family would not encounter the cold.  Like the fire that the father builds, the imagery moves from cold to warm:  The father rises in the "blueblack cold,/then with cracked hands that ached from labor...." he builds a fire to warm the house.  Still in bed, the poet as a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The speaker is now an adult, looking back upon his childhood. He shares with the reader all that his father did for him and the rest of the family, getting up alone early in the "blueback cold" (2), with hands that were so chapped the skin cracked, so the family can awake to a warm house.  The narrator realizes that no one in the family thanked him for performing this task.  The speaker also tells us that he spoke "indifferently" (10) to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Those Winter Sundays&quot; describes a son's recollection of his relationship with his father.  When the son was a boy, he didn't appreciate precisely what it meant for his father to warm the rooms of the house in the morning and polish his shoes.  These subtle acts of providing, and love, are regretfully only appreciated by the son as an adult.You might want to think about how Hayden uses the notions of cold/heat and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Those Winter Sundays is a wonderful poem by Robert Hayden, one of the most influential Harlem Renaissance poets. Next to Langston Hughes, Hayden may be the best-known poet of the Harlem Renaissance, even though his collection of work is not as extensive.In the poem, Hayden retrospects to his childhood, and recalls the small acts of kindness that his father performed. There is a bittersweet essence about the poem, as the author recalls how he...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Perhaps the strongest literary devices used in this poem are symbolism and imagery. As for imagery, we can almost feel the heat from the fire or the pain of the &quot;cracked hands that ached&quot; and hear the thawing out of the &quot;cold splintering, breaking.&quot; As for symbolism, the father's actions in the poem are a symbol of love without having to say the words.This poem has no set rhythm or end-of-line rhyme; there is some...]]></description>
