Harry and Dumbledore Lean on Each OtherJun 08 '07 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line How do I love thee, Dumbledore? Let me count the ways... My favorite line from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is "I am not worried, Harry. I am with you." With that moment in mind, I wrote the following poem... Not Worried "I am not worried, Harry," Said docile Dumbledore, His kindly features withering with age. Ensconced in silver splendor, He searched his student for The solace that would strengthen such a sage. This sturdy sanctuary, So certain and serene, With sparkling stars reflected in his eyes, Was Harry's firm defender. He trusted in the teen, Who dared not doubt the words of one so wise. And yet, the burden boring Into his startled soul, The Boy Who Lived - the boy who love preserved - Felt bravery abating, Felt unfit for his goal, Felt the professor's faith was undeserved. Distressed for not ignoring The headmaster's command To let the poison do its deadly work, He hesitated, hating The foully blackened hand And other marks received where demons lurk. The frame, so frail and feeble. The speech, so sadly slurred. The weakness in a wizard once so strong. He wished his prayers could carry His teacher to the bird With healing in his tears and in his song. Unsettled by such evil, He shivered like a child, And yet he knew he had a job to do. "I am not worried, Harry," His ancient mentor smiled, And slowly strength returned. "I am with you."  |
