To understand the meaning of the image in these lines from the poem "January," we need to analyze the words and context of the poem. Let's break it down:
"The sun a spark
Hung thin between
The dark and dark."
In these lines, the speaker is describing the sun as a spark that is hanging or suspended thinly between two darker areas or shadows referred to as "the dark and dark."
The image here describes the feeble presence of the sun during the winter month of January. It suggests that the sun appears weak, faint, and struggling to break through the surrounding darkness. The word "spark" implies a small, flickering source of light, emphasizing the sun's weakened state.
