"Rhapsody on a Windy Night" is a poem written by T.S Elliot and it was published as part of a series of lesser known poems in 1916. One of the characteristics of this poem is that it is written in the first person for most of the poem and it used free verse, as in the sense that Elliot did not just stick to one literary technique when he wrote it, but rather used several of them within the poem and in each stanza. "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" shows the story of a speaker who is walking on a street at night under the light of the moon. And this moonlight, the street lamps and the objects around, seem to bring out two things: memory and its characteristics, and the incapacity of the speaker to break away from what the circumstances dictate that he does. In this particular excerpt, we can also see the use of the first person, which shows a process of remembrance and memory on the part of the speaker, but also the use of words that express again memory and the objects that come forth during remembrance, which are not necessarily connected, but show a sort of chaos.
