Attempt a critical analysis of the poem “Stone” by Brathwaite.

“i could not hold it back or black it. . . .” The coming together of the object as well as the subject of attack concludes the poem. Unlike an imaginative perception which the poet can retain in his memory and later transmute into poetry, the stone is a concrete material object which leads to the physical effects of impairment and finally death. It is significant that the Smith persona in this poem does not directly affix the blame on his attackers. The stone, from being the instrument of death, comes to epitomise the condition of the man who has died since he becomes as inanimate as it: “i am the stone that kills me.”
