landscape with the fall of icarus (poem)
the 16th-century painting "landscape with the fall of icarus", traditionally but perhaps erroneously attributed to pieter bruegel the elder, was the inspiration for two of the 20th century's most notable ecphrastic english-language poems, "musée des beaux arts" by w. h. auden and "landscape with the fall of icarus" by william carlos williams. other english language poems referencing the icarus myth are "to a friend whose work has come to triumph" by anne sexton, "icarus again" by alan devenish, "mrs icarus" by carol ann duffy, "failing and flying" by jack gilbert, and "icarus burning" and "icarus redux" by hiromi yoshida.
