‘The Doors’ Film Still ‘Breaks On Through’ 35 Years Later

|The New-Zealand-born Mansfield experienced her greatest surge of literary output as her early death from tuberculosis closed in upon her.

The New-Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) experienced her greatest surge of literary output as her early death from tuberculosis closed in upon her. Though her fiction had begun appearing in print as early as 1910, the final years of her life saw the publication of such major stories as “The Garden Party.” Her poems, including today’s selection, “Voices of the Air,” were published after her death. This poem, in tetrameter quatrains with an abab rhyme scheme, invokes the beauty of small insect songs, heard against the droning chords of the sea.
