Half-Life

The skin passes through two major stages in the life of an individual. From birth up to the age of 20 the skin matures. After 20 the skin embarks on a long period of ageing. At birth, the skin of the newborn, though it seems like an adult one, does have differences. The horny layer is thin, the sebaceous gland secretions cease after the first six months of life, whereas they were very active during intra-uterine life.

by the hospital with its white walls, white caps, and the living world of colour represented by the vibrant tulips. What is most striking in this poem is that it is full of oppositions, and the poem itself seems to be cut in two: the white half and the red half, and this is why we decided to do a two-part commentary. In our first part we will discuss the white and cold haven, that is the hospital, and how nature imagery is here used as a positive image. We will also discuss the state of peacefulness
