That satisfied Newton and I alike. However, I was proven wrong by Thomas Young who demonstrated that light was actually a wave in his double…

“To an Athlete Dying Young” starts with a story-line in second person, making it more intriguing and easier to follow. Housman also wrote it with an AABB rhyme scheme, which made the poem more attractive to read and analyze. The first stanza is written in the past tense about an athlete winning a race.
