Arc de Triomphe

outside: “Look down into the courtyard” (CP 26). This line indicates Bishop’s invitation to her audience to observe with her. The very title, “Paris 7a.m.,” suggests the main concepts of place and time which Bishop explores in the poem. Jonathan Ellis observes that this particular Bishop poem “show[s] a young poet experimenting with various poetic traditions, desperately seeking a voice to approach autobiography safely” (Ellis 30). Bishop locates her poem within the circles (rotaries) and squares (plazas) of Paris. The repetition of the words circles and squares gives this sense of the Paris roadways and how the roads tend to converge at the center or an “Etoile.” Bishop bears in mind the geography so carefully that she references the Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile a point at which twelve major road of Paris meet at the famous monument. The twelve roads call to mind the plentitude of “clocks” throughout the poem and how their geography also includes this circle convergence. Jonathon Ellis understands the specific place and time of the title as “[Bishop] announc[ing] the time and location in ‘Paris, 7a.m.’…[as] a way of shoring up the imagination, of grounding it in literal facts and history. And yet the cry still finds a way through.” (Ellis 52). The cry within “Paris, 7a.m.” takes place underneath the surface in Bishop’s struggle to make sense of the ever shifting senses of space and time. The endless supply of clocks in the poem suggests a commentary about time. The clocks…
